Hexagonal FeGe is a two-dimensional kagome metal with the intricate coexistence of magnetism and charge-density-wave (CDW) order. Here, we present a broadband optical spectroscopy study of the antiferromagnetic compound down to 10 K. The contributions of itinerant and localized charge carriers to the optical spectra are comparatively discussed and signatures of the emerging CDW state below approximately 100 K are unveiled. Aided by DFT calculations, we show that the low-energy interband transitions are very sensitive to small changes of the Fermi level and uncover a delicate interplay between phonons, charge order, and localized carriers.
