Career

Königsdörffer played youth football for Minerva Berlin, SCC Berlin and Hertha BSC before joining the youth setup at Dynamo Dresden in the summer of 2019.[4] Königsdörffer made his debut for Dresden as a substitute in a 2–0 away defeat to 1. FC Nürnberg.[5] In February 2020, Königsdörffer signed a three-year contract with Dynamo Dresden, lasting until 2022.[6] He appeared 7 times for the club during the 2019–20 season as they finished bottom of the 2. Bundesliga and were relegated to the 3. Liga.[5][7]

On 29 October 2020, his contract was further extended to 2023,[8] before scoring his first competitive goal two days later in a 3–0 victory over SV Meppen.[9] After providing the assist for Dresden's first goal in first-half stoppage time, he converted a Christoph Daferner cross to put Dresden 2–0 up in the 59th minute.[9] He tested positive for COVID-19 in mid-April 2021,[10] but returned to first-team action for a 2–0 victory over Viktoria Köln on 8 May 2021.[11] Dynamo were promoted back to the Bundesliga as champions of the 3. Liga,[12] with Königsdörffer having scored 7 goals in 34 appearances across the 2020–21 season.[11]
