Bad Kissingen is a spa town in Bavaria, capital of the district Bad Kissingen.
Henry Kissinger's ancestors derived their name from this town. The name derives from the Old High German chizzicha (first recorded in 801), meaning "sour bubbly water", a description of the town's mineral water.
Bad Kissingen is perhaps best known as the site of a climactic clash between the Prussian and Bavarian armies during the German Campaign of the Austro-Prussian War on July 10, 1866, an engagement often referred to as the Battle of Kissingen, which lasted for more than twelve hours and cost several thousand casualties.
