In German, "faden" does mean thread. And "schwarzer" means black. "Gesichter" means faces.
I believe your numbers are for Vaupel & Heilenbeck threads. Try this page, I have navigated through the German from the homepage right to the page you need:
http://www.vaupel-heilenbeck.de/index.php?li=2&fl=161&si=143&lang=de&css=css/standard
I also searched on a conversion chart and found this:

: The designs are great, whimsical and I’m
: itchin’ to stitch a couple….. BUT the thread
: numbers don’t seem to match/convert with any

: anyone help with numbers – for example 2061
: (yellow), 3006 (think this is white judging
: by the symbols), 3993, 3985, 3986, 4039,
