Picturesque Fucking

Fucking is a small village in Upper Austria and was found in the year 1070. As a result of increasing attention from the media, Fucking has become more and more well-known throughout the world.

According to some stories, tourists are causing a lot of anxiety — and are costing money — to the tiny village where signs keep disappearing. The town sign has been stolen several times in the past. According to Siegfried Hoeppel, the mayor of Fucking, much of the tiny town’s budget is being spent replacing the signs.

The villagers didn't find out about the English meaning of the word until Allied soldiers stationed in the region in 1945 pointed out the alternative meaning. Despite the trouble, Fucking residents have voted against changing the name in the past.
