Partner Towns of Bad Kissingen

Bad Kissingen is in close contact with its partner cities, making the European ideal a reality. On 20th April 1960, the city of Bad Kissingen and Massa (Italy) sealed their partnership. Just one month later also Vernon (France) and in 1978 Eisenstadt (Austria) became partner cities.

The youth music corps Bad Kissingen, the Bad Kissinger fire brigade, the scouts, and the Rhönclub Bad Kissingen cooperate to maintain the connections. Soon, friendly friendships flourished. Since 1985 these partnerships have been kept up by the student exchange between local high and secondary school and the corresponding educational establishments in the foreign partner cities. Every year the town partnership committee Bad Kissingen organizes trips at Whitsun to the cherry fair of Vernon and to the town festival in Eisenstadt, where they offer Franconian specialties at sales stands. Conversely, committee Bad Kissingen welcomes his friends from the partner cities at the Rakoczy festival in Bad Kissingen. Art exhibitions, concerts, and lectures are organized in the cultural field.

Since 1978, the city of Bad Kissingen has maintained a friendly town partnership with the capital of Burgenland, which is located near Lake Neusiedl.

The Italian town of Massa, known for its marble quarries in the nearby Carrara, is twinned with Bad Kissingen since 1960.

Vernon, situated on the banks of the Seine river between Paris and Rouen, has been twinned with the city on the Franconian Saale for more than five decades.
