The Königsau photographed north of the village of Københoved. As early as the 13th century, the Kongeå together with the Kolding Å formed the border between the Duchy of Schleswig and the Kingdom of Denmark. From the 16th century until 1850, the Kongeå was a customs border between Schleswig and Denmark. Although both areas belonged to the Danish realm and were under the Danish king, customs had to be paid when crossing the border. After Denmark's defeat against Prussia and Austria in the German-Danish War of 1864 and due to the Treaty of Vienna of October 30, 1864, the Kongeå between Fårkrog and Villebøl formed a partial border between Denmark and Prussia, and from 1871 the German Empire.
