The town has decided to change its name.
For years he’s been the subject of countless jokes, as well as the constant victim of light-fingered tourists, but the Austrian town of F …… has finally had enough.
Officials in the small village of 100 residents near the German border have decided to change its name to “Fugging.”
“I am confirming that, in fact, it has been decided by the local council. I will not say more about it,” said Tarsdorf Mayor Andrea Holzner. Reuters.

Officials also had to install CCTV to prevent naked tourists from filming themselves in front of the billboards.
The town’s name, which has evolved over the years, is believed to have come from a Bavarian nobleman named Focko in the 6th century AD.
The new name for Fugging takes effect on January 1.
