The town of Fucking, in Austria, will change its name in January next year, a decision made by locals who have been trying to adopt the name Fugging for several years to escape the jokes of tourists and the constant theft of plates.

The mayor of Tarsdorf, Andrea Holzner, confirmed the change to Reuters and indicated that, as of January 1, 2021, the town will be called Fugging, according to how its inhabitants pronounce the name of the village.
Fucking’s name dates back to 1070, when the town was named after Lord Focko, who founded the village in the 6th century.

In Austria, the towns of Oberfucking and Unterfucking (which would be like Fucking de Cima and Fucking from below) still exist, but, so far, there is no indication that their inhabitants intend to change their name.
