Fulda (district)

The Fulda District (German: Landkreis Fulda; German pronunciation: [ˈfʊlda]) is a Kreis (district) in the north-east of Hesse, Germany.

Neighboring districts are Hersfeld-Rotenburg, Wartburgkreis, Schmalkalden-Meiningen, Rhön-Grabfeld, Bad Kissingen, Main-Kinzig, Vogelsbergkreis.

In 1866 the north of Hesse became a part of Prussia, including the Gersfeld area which previously belonged to Bavaria.

In 1972, the previously small municipalities were merged into 23 bigger ones, and in 1974 the city of Fulda lost its status as district-free city and joined the district again.

The left side of the coat of arms shows a black cross, the sign of the monastery of Fulda.
