ラーコーツィ・フェレンツ2世
The Rákóczi Festival is, as it is the case with the Rákóczi Spring (which is the best-known spa spring in Bad Kissingen), named after the aristocrat Francis II Rákóczi, a Hungarian freedom fighter. Francis II Rákóczi had a certain popularity in that time, in which the spring was discovered by famous architect Johann Balthasar Neumann and local pharmacist Georg Anton Boxberger. This was the reason why the spring was named after Rákóczi, although Rákóczi had never been to Bad Kissingen.
