The Village Fucking was renamed (posted in 2020)
The residents of the small village of Fucking in Upper Austria have become fed up with the overwhelming popularity and bizarre tourists.
In 2021, the authorities of the village decided to replace the historical name of “Fucking” with a modern version, “Fugging”, digging down their gold mine. Many people opposed that decision.
But why does it have such a name? It’s believed that the name “Fucking”, derives from Focko, who is a Bavarian nobleman that founded the village over a thousand years old.
