The place name in the public interest

Fucking [ 'fʌkɪŋ ] is in English , the present participle and the gerund the verb to fuck . Due to the frequent especially adjectival use in the English language and the strong influence of the same in continental Europe, the word is also very well known in the German-speaking area. Due to frequent reporting, the popularity of the place rose to such an extent that English-speaking tourists in particular travel to the village by bus to have their picture taken in front of the place-name signs , some of which are stolen. In August 2005, the eight place-name signs at the four town entrances were secured against theft by setting in concrete, welding and riveting.

The registration of the Fucking Hell brand at the European Trademark Office caused further public attention . A beer has been marketed under this term since 2010 . “Hell” stands for the light beer type common in southern Germany and Austria . The brand name has been approved. However, it was not produced in Fucking, but from 2011 to 2013 in the German private brewery Waldhaus .

The writer-director Kurt Palm in 2010 wrote a thriller - grotesque about life in Upper Austria province , which as an allusion to the place name the title Bad Fucking bears. In 2011 he staged a play based on his book at the Phönix Theater in Linz . The novel was made into a film by Harald Sicherheitsitz in 2013 .

In 2017, Fucking was the stage destination of a round trip from Wank (English for " wank ") to kissing , petting and fucking with the final destination Wedding in the Amazon series The Grand Tour with Jeremy Clarkson , James May and Richard Hammond .

In 2018, the Fucking community became a so-called “Premium Place” as part of a PR campaign by the Pornhub site . As part of this program, all residents receive free access to the premium subscription.
