By means of the density functional theory in combination with the dynamical mean-field theory, we tried to examine the electronic structure of hexagonal FeGe, in which the Fe atoms form a quasi-2D layered Kagome lattice. We predict that it is a representative Kagome metal characterized by orbital selective Dirac fermions and extremely flat bands. Furthermore, Fes 3$d$ electrons are strongly correlated. They exhibit quite apparent signatures of electronic correlation induced by Hunds rule coupling, such as sizable differentiation in band renormalization, non-Fermi-liquid behavior, spin-freezing state, and spin-orbital separation. Thus, FeGe can be regarded as an ideal platform to study the interplay of Kagome physics and Hundness. 5
