Autorenporträt

Paul Liebrecht König (March 20, 1867 - September 9, 1933) was a German sailor and business executive, best known for his role as the captain of the merchant submarine U-Deutschland during World War I. His most notable achievement was commanding the U-Deutschland on its two voyages to the United States in 1916, where it successfully broke through the English blockade to deliver vital goods, an event that captured international attention. Before these exploits, König served as a captain in the German merchant navy and later became a reserve lieutenant in the Imperial German Navy in 1916. His leadership of the U-Deutschland earned him the Iron Cross, 2nd Class in 1915, and 1st Class in 1916, as well as the prestigious Hohenzollern House Order in 1916. König's experiences in both the merchant navy and as a naval officer positioned him at the forefront of an innovative and daring mission during the war.
