Currently I use LinageOS with Gapps pico - only GServices with PlayStore is installed. (on a old Samsung Phone)
What have Fairphone OS included? - Can I uninstall maps, mail and the other not wanted google stuff or do I have to install e OS?
Does Fairphone ships any apps or it is android stock?
Hi and welcome to the forum
Fairphone install a) an app to contact them and b) a camera app specific to the FP4 (48Mpx and Wide angle) Both removable, but suggest you keep the camera for the reasons in brackets.
Otherwise FOS is a minimal Android 11 and you can de-google and remove maps etc. and you do not require a google account to set up the phone.

com.google.android.gm :: Gmail
com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox

com.google.android.calendar
com.google.android.apps.photos
com.google.android.feedback
com.google.android.gms.location.history
com.google.android.apps.docs :: Google Drive
com.google.android.videos :: Movies and TV
com.android.chrome
