Aulenhausen is a village (Ortsteil) of the municipality of Weilmünster in the district of Limburg-Weilburg in central Hesse.

[1] The village is largely surrounded by forest in the eastern Hintertaunus, on a plateau between the Weinbachtal and Weiltal valleys and is part of the Taunus Nature Park.

The district borders Essershausen and Ernsthausen to the north and Weilmünster to the east.

The oldest known written mention of Aulenhausen was under the name Ulinhousen in 1333.

[3] In the course of the territorial reform in Hesse, on 31 December 1970 the former market town of Weilmünster in the Oberlahn district merged voluntarily with the previously independent municipalities of Aulenhausen, Dietenhausen, Ernsthausen, Laimbach, Langenbach, Laubuseschbach, Lützendorf, Möttau, Rohnstadt and Wolfenhausen to form the new enlarged municipality of Weilmünster.
