EN: Three black morels (Morchella elata) are the heraldic symbol of Hellikon. You can find them in many places all over the village, so also carved in wood at the entrance to the town hall. The three morels are each about 1.5 meters high and carved in two parts. I could find out neither the artist nor the year; the town hall was inaugurated in 1979, but the wooden morels look much newer.
DE: Drei Spitzmorcheln (Morchella elata) sind das Wappensymbol von Hellikon. Man kann diese an vielen Orten im Dorf antreffen, so auch in Holz geschnitzt vor dem Eingang zum Gemeindehaus. Die drei Morcheln sind je etwa 1.5 Meter hoch und aus zwei Teilen geschnitzt. Ich konnte weder den Künstler noch das Jahr in Erfahrung bringen; das Gemeindehaus wurde 1979 eingeweiht, die Holzmorcheln sehen aber noch einiges jünger aus.
