The Feldberger were founded in 1987 by Hansy Vogt (* December 25, 1967), Lothar Böhler (* November 22, 1970) and Chris Laubis (* December 12, 1970; † April 2, 2020). The three musicians were supported by Joe Kuttruff (born January 27, 1969), who joined them in 1997. The hometowns of the founding members were Feldberg , Holzschlag (near Bonndorf in the Black Forest ) and Titisee ; So in the area around the Feldberg in the Black Forest .

The band quickly had their first successes regionally in southern Germany and won the coveted Black Forest Musicians Cup in 1990. In 1991 the first CD was produced, which paved the way into the professional show industry. After all, the band made their first TV appearance at the popular music parade produced by Dieter Thomas Heck on ARD and took first place with the title Music Makes Hearts Cheerful, despite very strong competition. Since that day the band has appeared in numerous popular music programs.

In 2005, with the song Die Welt von dem Weit above sehn , which is also included on the album Fun Without Borders , the band succeeded for the first time in appearing in the airplay charts for several weeks with two songs at the same time.

The song We meet friends was presented by the Black Forest tourist region as an official contribution to the 2006 World Cup .
