Town in Bavaria, the Brünö of English history with a nasty cough thrown in. Its claim to fame for British history is a battle in 1704, which the British troops won. Victory also gave them linguistic liberty, so the battle was named "battle of Blindheim" (after a place nearby), which later became Blenheim.
