There are numerous springs on the Isarhangleite, which are fed from the slope water. In the area of the city of Landshut, such were used for a long time to supply water to the population. In the course of the city's beautification in the course of the 19th century, this spring was set in stone by committed citizens in 1867, as it was on the path to the tavern in Schönbrunn, which was popular with the people of Landshut.
It is no longer possible to determine when the spring got its name, but there is a legend about Ferenc Rákóczy II (1676-1735). Today he is a Hungarian national hero and was the richest nobleman in the Kingdom of Hungary at the time, leading the last major Hungarian uprisings against the Habsburgs between 1703 and 1711. After a defeat in 1704, he is said to have refreshed himself with his companions at this spring on his flight to France and spent the night here.
On November 21, 1948, Hungarians living in Landshut erected a memorial stone next to the spring for their compatriots who died in World War II and fought on the German side.
