In the courtyard of Dob utca 80, you can find a “ladik,” a flat-bottomed boat used in shallow waters. This building houses Fortuna Patika, a very old pharmacy. Inside, you’ll discover beautiful furniture that is worth a visit.

During the 1940s, the pharmacy had a famous owner named Elemér Kocsuba, who also resided in the house. He was the son of a pharmacist and followed in his father’s footsteps, studying the same profession. However, Elemér was a multitalented individual. He excelled in youth tennis, becoming a champion, and also found success as an ice-skater.

Moreover, Elemér possessed musical talent and was skilled in playing the piano and organ. He was a student of Zoltán Kodály. Additionally, Elemér ventured into the world of filmmaking under the name Elemér Kassay. One of his most renowned films is “120-as tempó,” featuring famous actors from the interwar period, such as Lili Muráti and Gyula Kabos.

Before the war, Elemér experienced a serious car accident that resulted in a broken skull. To remedy this, a platinum implant was used for his surgery, which held such high value that he was not permitted to leave Hungary after 1945.
