Ferdinand Fellner was also active politically. As a representative of the Liberals from 1861 to 1862, he was a member of the municipal council , where he belonged to the 2nd constituency of Alsergrund and was the deputy chairman of the building section. 1868-1870 he belonged to the faction of the left in the local council.
