Fucking, Austria

About 40km north of Salezburg you will find a little Austrian town called Fucking. The city with zipcode 5121 has around 100 citizens and lies close to the German border.
The village is known to have existed as “Fucking” since at least 1070 and is named after a man from the 6th century called Focko. In 2004, due to the stolen signs and embarrassment over the name, a vote was held on changing the village’s name, but the residents voted against doing so.
