The Königstein rock formation, like the nearby Teufelsmauer, was formed in the Cretaceous period. The Königsstein is also part of the northern uplift zone of the Harz Mountains. Like the Teufelsmauer, it consists of sandstone - soft and hard, to very hard, layers alternate. The hard layers, also called quartzite, were created by the penetration of silicic acid into the sandstone.
