Saint Cyriacus, to whom this church in Gellershausen is dedicated, was a deacon and martyr from the time of early Christianity. According to Catholic tradition, he is one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers. Saint Cyriacus's feast day in the liturgical calendar is August 8th. On a prayer card—originally from another church dedicated to him—the following intercession to the saint is inscribed: “Saint Cyriacus, open our eyes to the physical and spiritual needs of our fellow human beings. Grant us the willingness to listen to even the humblest among us with their great worries and to stand by them in their distress. Help us so that our hearts do not become hardened by selfishness and hopelessness.”

There is a Lenin monument in Schillerplatz in Hellingen. A reminder of German history.

The renovated gatehouse, along with the church, is considered a landmark of the village.

Our Heldburg Forestry District comprises 12 forest districts and is also the southernmost forestry district in the Free State of Thuringia. The Heldburg region, the Gleichberge hills, and the castles of Straufhain and Heldburg are attractive destinations for forest visitors. Our district office in Heldburg is also worth seeing – a building steeped in forestry history. Our forestry district is characterized by extensive oak forests in the south – which is why the oak is the "characteristic tree species" of our district. North of the Werra River, for example around Hildburghausen, coniferous pine and spruce forests predominate, while the "Franconian Threshold" south of the Werra is characterized by beech-rich deciduous forests.

The fountain dominates the square opposite the town hall.

On the path leading up to Heldburg Fortress in Thuringia, you'll eventually come across a linden tree split in two. A sign is attached to the hollow of this tree, and I'd like to tell you about it now: "Castle Linden of Heldburg Fortress – Large-leaved Summer Linden. Wanderer, pause! Read my story here: In 1791, I was planted by the then Ducal Court Secretary, Johann Daniel Bechmann (1768-1826), from Heldburg. That's why I was also called the Bechmann Linden. Around 1960, lightning destroyed my beautiful crown and split the trunk. Duke George II of Saxe-Meiningen (1826-1914) and his wife, Baroness von Heldburg (1839-1923), often lingered in the shade of its spreading branches when they resided here at the fortress during the summer months."
