Faulungen is located in the south of the Unstrut-Hainich district, about 15 km west of the district town of Mühlhausen . The surroundings of the place are characterized by a low mountain range and the Frieda valley . The highest point is the mountain Schlegelsberg 461 m above sea level. NN . The place itself is bordered on three sides by steep, wooded slopes, the agricultural areas of the village are predominantly on the plateaus, which made their use and cultivation difficult.
history
The place Faulungen was first mentioned in 1476 as the Faulungen and in 1548 as Fawlunge , from the faulungs wisenn .
The Spindelsburg is said to be much older to the west of Faulungen on the mountain spur protruding to the northwest into the Haselbach valley. One suspects there remains of a refugee castle. Not far from the Untermühle, still in the Faulunger district, a settlement Grabekulle is assumed, which existed around 1300 and was then mentioned several times in documents from the 14th century as a desert .
Only the neighboring towns of Struth and Effelder belonged directly to the Zella monastery, only three kilometers away ; In the spring of 1525, the serf peasants used the confusion and weakness of the authorities to settle their "old bills" with the monastery. On April 26, 1525, the monastery was attacked and stormed, valuables and supplies looted. But a second time, weeks after the defeat in the Battle of Frankenhausen , insurgents attacked the monastery and set fires in the extensive building complex, making the monastery uninhabitable for a long time.
According to a statistical study, the village of Faulungen had 633 Catholic and 4 Protestant residents around 1840. 91 houses, 98 stables and barns, the tavern and a school were also mentioned. Only one teacher could be employed, he taught the school-age 60 boys and 41 girls. The population still lived in oppressive poverty. At that time, traditional weaving and textile manufacturing were mainly operated in Faulungen, mostly as a sideline. 31 cotton and one linen looms were recorded. The overview lists two grinding mills, a beer brewery, a fur trader, a rag collector, a servant and three maids as other commercial and craft businesses. Three grocers (victuals) and two innkeepers supplied the groceries. The total livestock was 9 horses, 101 cattle, 161 sheep, 45 goats and 60 pigs. The village corridor comprised 1562 acres , of which the agricultural area comprised 788 acres of arable land, 14 acres of garden land and 18 acres of meadows. Furthermore, 382 acres of private forest and 360 acres of fallow land were named. The yield of the fields was assessed as poor to mediocre.
The aforementioned Untermühle, west of the village, on the road to Lengenfeld / Stein, was in operation until 1920. After 1961 it was taken over as a holiday property and expanded. The Obermühle or Schmerbauchsmühle is located in the local area of Faulungen, it was a grinding and cutting mill. Their last operators, the Otto Schmerbauch family, were victims of forced resettlement.
On April 21, 1995, Faulungen was incorporated into the new Katharinenberg community. With its dissolution, the place came to the municipality of Südeichsfeld on December 1, 2011.

Natural monuments
The legendary Spindelsburg rises south of the village on the western edge of a mountain with steeply sloping flanks. Not far from the national border, a hiking trail leads to the human cave, an inconspicuous crevice in the forest. One of the largest stands of yew trees in Thuringia is also remarkable, the number is estimated at 1,000.
Regular events

These glasses are marked and stored until the festival. In summer, the public tasting takes place as a village festival. The winner will then be crowned in a solemn ceremony as “Lazy Muskönigin”, the title is valid for two years. On the Saturday before Pentecost, the Heimatverein organizes an annual folklore evening in the hall of the village community center .
