Königsreh (Alemannic pronunciation: [ˈkøːnɪçsˌreh]) is the capital and second largest city of Mascylla by both are and population. Its 1,231,326 (2017) inhabitants make it one of the largest most populous city propers in Alemannia after Sigairen, Ulskach, and Flussmund. The city is one of Mascylla's 18 principalities, nmed the Kronlande, and it is surrounded by the states of Eystrun and Nelgern, the capitals of which, Lehpold and Mündkeld, are contiguous with Königsreh. The three cities are at the centre of the Eystrun/Kronlande Metropolitan Region, which is, with 2,3 million inhabitants, Mascylla's third largest metropolitan region after the Blaugold-Edward and Kreschitien regions. Königsreh straddles the banks of the River Blaugold, which flows into the Kaphel Lake in the eastern borough of Mehlau, where it leaves it again, facing the Edward's Bay. Among the cvity's main topographical features are the many smaller rivers in the western and southern boroughs, all leading to the Blaugold, the largest of which is the Weider River. Due to tis location in the Midcentral Mascyllary Plain, Königsreh is influenced by a temperate seasonal climate. About one third of the city's area is composed of forests, parks, rivers,m canals, and lakes. The city lies in the Centra Mascyllary dialect area, the Königsreh dialect being a variant of it.

First documented in the 13th century and situated at the crossing of two important trade routes, the village in the past known as Schwülpt, became a minor political location and population centre. Its major importance was archieved through the foundation of the city of Königsreh by King Lukas I himself, after a fitting spot for a national capital was searched for. Königsreh quickly evolved into a large metropolitan area, the fourth largest one in Alemannia in the 1920s. The city served as the capital of the Kingdom of Mascylla (1793-1942), the Mascyllary Republic (1942-1944), and the Crowned Republic of Mascylla until today.
