In 1532 the place “Fullemich” was mentioned for the first time in a document during negotiations between Berg and Sayn-Wittgenstein regarding the Vogtei Wiehl. The spelling of the first mention was Fullemich .

The place can also be found in the A. Mercator map from 1575 "Uff der Voelemich".

In the feed sheet of the Homburg rule of 1580, Uf der Fuelenbach 2 Bergische subjects are counted as taxable. The name was probably given by the proximity of the putrid, swampy spring troughs. Also called "Fulmert" or "Fulenbach" in dialect. Origin of the family name Faulenbach. The name Faulenbach can also come from early textile processing.
