history
The first written mention of the Feldberg is known from the year 983, but the community under the same name did not come into being until January 1, 1939 when the isolated pasture areas were united with the community of Bärental ( 970 m above sea level , first mentioned in 1691). These were previously owned by the municipalities of Bernau , Brandenberg , Hinterzarten , Menzenschwand , St. Wilhelm , Todtnau and Zastler . What was left of Brandenberg after the incorporation into Feldberg, went to Todtnau as a new district.
In the same year, on April 1, 1939, Neuglashütten was incorporated into Altglashütten ( 991 m above sea level ). The place name of Altglashütten referred to a glassworks that was founded in 1634. The area of Neuglashütten was later assigned to the glassblowers after a request from 1682 in order to be able to continue to supply them with wood.
Neuglashütten was the smallest of the four former municipalities and was therefore a frequent target of incorporation efforts, for example in 1852, 1898 and 1909. On April 1, 1938, the Baden Ministry of the Interior asked the Neustadt District Office to remove the small municipalities in the district. Here Neuglashütten with its 92 inhabitants came into focus and the mayors of Alt- and Neuglashütten agreed on the incorporation on January 10, 1939.
Falkau whose name to a company in 1675 woodcutters settlement goes back and Altglashuetten were on 1 September 1971 at the course of municipal reform in Baden-Wuerttemberg incorporated to Feldberg (Schwarzwald).

coat of arms
The coat of arms awarded by the Ministry of the Interior in 1974 was from Dr. Alfred Simon was designed as follows: "Under a red shield head, in which two crossed silver snowshoes, split by blue and silver, in front three wedge-shaped silver disks set to the right, behind a green fir tree."
The founding communities Feldberg, Bärental and Altglashütten are represented by the three main colors red, white and blue. The latter probably also reminds of the ties to the former Principality of Fürstenberg . The meaning of the three circles leaves room for some speculation. Either it is about glass balls, which remind of the past of the glass trade , or it is about the three lakes that border the district: Titisee , Windgälleweiher and Schluchsee . But they could also symbolize the unity of the three communities.
