geography
The Fuchstal valley stretches as the valley of the Wiesbach from Erpfting via Ellighofen , Unterdießen , Asch , Seestall , Leeder to Denklingen .
The valley shape, which is reminiscent of a fox, is considered to be the origin of the name Fuchstal . Another version says that the name is derived from the brown-red color of the meadows in summer, which is reminiscent of the color of a fox.

history
Settlement of the area can be traced back to the Latène period - in Asch and Leeder there are barrows and several Celtic square entrenchments .
History of the Leeder part of the municipality
The oldest part of the community is Leeder, which was probably founded by Franconia in the 8th century as a defensive village to protect the Swabian hinterland from Bavarian attacks. It is believed that the place name comes from the Flemish “Lethe” - “Lede”, d. H. artificial watercourse derives. Leeder was initially settled by Flemings who ran the Schmiedbach through the town.
In 1401 Friedrich von Freyberg bought Leeder, whose descendants were local lords until 1497 and sold the village to the Augsburg merchant and mayor Sigmund Gossembrot . After his death in 1508, Leeder passed into the possession of his son-in-law Ulrich Rehlinger , who was also mayor of Augsburg. Rehlinger introduced the Protestant faith in Leeder in 1527. In 1595 Jakob Fugger bought the place for 62,000 guilders, reinstated a Catholic priest and had the church consecrated again as a Catholic.
In 1661 the Augsburg bishopric bought the place from the Fuggers and set up the Leeder nursing office , which includes the villages of Denklingen , Welden , Lengenfeld and the hamlets of Krähmoos, Hohenwart and Lechmühlen. Above today's church there was a castle, which together with the Martinsbrunn summer residence, which was mentioned in 1552 and which is located on today's Dreiweiherweg, fell into disrepair after secularization and was auctioned off for demolition. In 1905, between the new cemetery and the “Almhütte” at the former sports field, wall remains made of mortar-bonded field stones were found, which are assigned to the castle fortifications at that time. The community's market rights were first mentioned in 1568 and documented in 1807. It allows the community two grocer and cattle markets annually. The grocer's markets are still held on Sundays in May and in autumn along the town's main street.
History of the district of Asch
The first mention of the place dates back to 1126, when the Counts of Ronsberg from Irsee entrusted properties in Asch. In 1401 Asch passed to the Lords of Freyberg , who bequeathed the property to the Augsburg monastery of St. Stephan in 1636 and 1740 .
History of the Seestall community
Unlike the traditional Swabian towns of Leeder and Asch, the rafting town of Seestall as part of the Lechrain has always been a Bavarian area. The place was first mentioned in 1275 in the Bavarian tax register, the hall book of Duke Ludwig the Strict .
During the Second World War, there was a subcamp of the Kaufering concentration camp in the village from autumn 1944 to March 1945 , in which several hundred Jewish prisoners had to do forced labor . In 1950 the Bavarian State Government had a memorial stone erected on the banks of the Lech , east of Seestall, to commemorate at least 22 of the concentration camp inmates who had died by 1945 and who were buried here. A sign on the B 17 points to the concentration camp memorial.
Recent history of the community
Since the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss and the secularization of 1803, the entire area of the current municipality of Fuchstal has belonged to Bavaria, until the regional reform, Asch and Leeder belonged to the district of Kaufbeuren and thus to the Bavarian administrative district of Swabia .
Today's municipality of Fuchstal was created on July 1, 1972 as part of the regional reform from the merger of the municipalities of Asch and Seestall and the Leeder market, but without Krämoos , which went to Oberostendorf . In 1978 the communities of Fuchstal and Unterdießen merged to form the Fuchstal administrative community .
From 1966 the world-famous Uher company in Leeder with almost 300 employees was producing tape recorders in the former school building under unfavorable spatial conditions . A new building was opened in Asch in 1971, employing up to 450 people. However, the Japanese competition plunged the German consumer electronics industry into a serious crisis from the 1970s, including Uher, which had to close its plants one after the other, and on July 31, 1977 also the Asch-Leeder branch.
Until 1984 the community had its own train station a few hundred meters east of the villages of Asch and Leeder on the Fuchstalbahn from Landsberg to Schongau, which opened in 1886 . Today only goods are handled there for the Pröbstl woodworks.
The US Army and the German Armed Forces operated the Landsberg-Leeder special ammunition depot near the hamlet of Engratshofen . It has now been demilitarized.
Population development
Between 1988 and 2019 the community grew from 2,762 to 3,990 by 1,228 inhabitants or 44.5%.

Coat of arms of the former municipality of Leeder
Fuchstal coat of arms since 2000
The current coat of arms of Fuchstal was adopted by the municipality in 2000 and replaced the coat of arms of Asch and Leeder from the 1950s. It shows a silver shield base with a split red rudder, in front a silver sloping beam in blue, behind in gold a green ash leaf.
The rudder refers to the former rafting village Seestall, the inclined beam symbolizes the Schmiedbach running through Leeder, the ash leaf refers to the Asch part of the municipality.
An earlier design of the coat of arms of the district administrator Bernhard Müller-Hahl from 1977 ("In blue on a silver wavy bar a golden ash with three branches, in the base of the shield three golden balls") was in the literature (cf. Heimatbuch für die Landsberg am Lech , P. 463) as the municipal coat of arms, but it was not legally valid.
Attractions
Only a few old buildings have survived in Leeder - the palace, the Martinsbrunn pleasure palace located a little outside the village on today's Dreiweiherweg and other stately buildings fell into disrepair after secularization and were later auctioned off "for demolition". The tavern mentioned in the 16th century (today: Gasthaus Luitpold) and the stately barn with a partially preserved enclosure wall opposite, which today houses business premises, have been preserved.
