Small Town in Austria

[CorollaXRS]

Anyone wanna go to "Fucking"?

This is a real town that located in Austria. This name had been there from WWII until now. Next week they will be voting to change their town name to something else.

Only to English speaking folk is that town named after a swear. Im sure in their native language its just any regular name.

Austrians considering renaming their village from Fucking to Fugging have been told to think again – because the name is already taken.

Villagers at Fucking in Upper Austria voted yesterday to change the name to Fugging. But then came the news that there used to be a second village with the name Fucking in Austria – and residents there had already bagged the name Fugging more than 100 years ago.

Fugging mayor Andreas Dockner - 200 miles away in Lower Austria - said: "Nobody alive now remembers why it was changed from Fucking to Fugging, but it was and that is now our name. We think one Fugging in Austria is enough.

went here last year!

the sign has been stolen so many times that it is now welded to that post and cemented into the ground haha. While we were taking pictures (the sign was on some guys yard) he came out, looked at us and just laughed to himself, he must have that happen every day.
