Picturesque Fucking is a small village in Upper Austria founded in the year 1070.
Apparently, the villagers didn't find out about the English meaning of the word until Allied soldiers stationed in the region in 1945 pointed out the alternative meaning. Despite the trouble, Fucking residents have voted against changing the name in the past.
Aside from the English meaning, 2 trucs jump out at me here...
1. From my basic yerman, I'm pretty sure "Bitte, nicht so schnell" means "Please, not so fast." Hahaaaa.
2. It's a sign about fucking, and not fucking too fast, and there's a picture of... two kids ? Perhaps related ? Gross, town of Fucking, just gross.
