Die Faustermühle im Wallhalbtal
Oberhalb des Zusammenflusses von Wallhalb und Schwarzbach steht die Faustermühle am Mühlenwanderweg. Bis 1564 soll beim Mühlengut die ehemalige Siedlung Rieschweiler gelegen haben. Die Mühle selbst wird 1601 von einem Marteß Hanß von Mühlenbach (Höhmühlbach) errichtet. Lediglich einen Mahlgang (Mühlstein) hatte die Mühle zu jener Zeit. Aber schon bald fehlt von der Mühle jede Nachricht bis zum Jahre 1695. Es ist anzunehmen, dass sie das Schicksal vieler anderer Mühlen teilte und im Dreißigjährigen Krieg untergegangen ist.

Erst im Jahr 1705 hat Nikolaus Faust aus Rieschweiler die Mühle an dem längst verwilderten Mühlplatz wieder errichtet. Ab jener Zeit nannte man das Mühlengut die „Maßweiler Mühle“. Bald darauf baute Faust zur Getreidemühle noch eine Sägemühle. Die Kraft des Wassers musste für unterschiedliche Handwerksbereiche genutzt werden, um den Menschen die körperliche Arbeit zu erleichtern. Nach dem Tod des Erbauers wurde sein Sohn Mühlenbesitzer. Ab dem Jahre 1756 führte der Enkel Valentin Faust die Mühle als Alleinbesitzer weiter. Die Sägemühle wurde 1759 zu einer Ölmühle umgebaut. Zwischenzeitlich hatte sich wieder der Name „Faustermühle“ nach dem Erbauer und späteren Besitzer wieder eingebürgert.

The Faustermühle in Wallhalbtal
Above the confluence of Wallhalb and Schwarzbach, the Faustermühle stands on the mill trail. Until 1564, the former settlement Rieschweiler is said to have been located near Mühlengut. The mill itself was built in 1601 by a Marteß Hess of Mühlenbach (Höhmühlbach). Only a Mahlgang (millstone) had the mill at that time. But soon enough the mill lacks any news until the year 1695. It can be assumed that she shared the fate of many other mills and perished in the Thirty Years' War.

It was not until 1705 that Nikolaus Faust from Rieschweiler rebuilt the mill on the long overgrown Mühlplatz. From that time the mill was called the "Maßweiler mill". Soon after, Faust built a sawmill for the flour mill. The power of the water had to be used for different craft areas in order to facilitate people's physical work. After the death of the builder, his son became a mill owner. From the year 1756 the grandson Valentin Faust continued the mill as a sole proprietor. The sawmill was rebuilt in 1759 to an oil mill. In the meantime, the name "Faustermühle" had re-established itself after the builder and later owner.
