Is a German army in Königsberg out of supply if it can trace only by sea to ports that are themselves out of supply?

The rulebook covers ports but not a port that is itself out of supply, so this follows from the port rule and the posts agree.

Yes. A sea trace must run from a friendly, unbesieged port overland to a friendly supply space (14.1.4). If the ports reachable from Königsberg, such as Kiel, cannot themselves reach a supply source over land, the trace fails and the army is eliminated in Attrition. The space keeps its intact fort, so the space does not convert and a trench there is not removed (14.3.6, 11.2.7). If the connected port can reach a supply source overland, Königsberg stays supplied.
