Why would people call their town/village/city Fucking?
I'm guessing it's because "fucking" in German doesn't mean the same as it does in English.
You got it right. I'm from a neighbouring country, and the explanation given to us was that the village is called like that after some old Austrian noble owning/founding the village hunderds years ago. Can't prove if that's right since I'm not from Austria.
Even the pronounciation of the name in German is different.
