Feldberg has a subarctic climate (Köppen: Dfc; Trewartha: Eolo) due to its high altitude with short, cool summers and long, cold winters.

The general election on May 25, 2014, resulted in the following allocation of seats within the local council: There is an inter-municipality agreement with the neighbouring Schluchsee municipality.

The founder municipalities Feldberg, Bärental, and Altglashütten are represented by the three primary colours red, white, and blue.

They are either reminiscent of glass spheres and glaziers or of the three lakes that meet within the boundary of Feldberg: Titisee, Windgfällweiher und Schluchsee.

The construction of the Dreiseenbahn, which runs from Titisee to Seebrugg, was completed in 1926 and in Bärental, it is Germany's highest railway on a standard gauge track.
