Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on August 4, 1922.

The arms symbolise the history of Feucht. In the early Middle Ages the beekeepers of Feucht had two tasks, supplying the armies with honey and act as cross bow soldiers. The first description of these tasks dates from 1296. The colours were taken from the small arms of Nürnberg city.
