Fuchsstadt coat of arms
 Blazon : "In red two silver bars, applied a fox alternately divided by gold and red."

Coat of arms story: The fox in the coat of arms stands for the community name. The two silver bars in red are taken from the coat of arms of the extinct lords of Fuchsstadt, who had been wealthy in the municipality since the middle of the 13th century at the latest. This local noble family was enfeoffed with the Fulda possessions in the municipality. The Fürststift Fulda has been occupied in Fuchsstadt since 907.
The coat of arms was awarded by the Bavarian Ministry of the Interior on August 13, 1959.
