Artur König (18 April 1884 – 1945?) was a German politician (KPD).
He sat, briefly, as a Communist member of the Reichstag (national parliament) in 1924/25.
He fell out with the party leadership after he was appointed party treasurer in 1924, and investments made with party funds turned sour.
There was no
evidence or lasting support for initial suggestions that König had enriched himself personally, but a significant amount of money was nevertheless lost and his influence within the fractious Communist Party was permanently diminished.
During the twelve Nazi years he was involved in resistance but no details survive.
It is thought that he died when he was shot, early in 1945, by Nazi paramilitaries, in Strausberg near Berlin.
