Hellendorf coat of arms
 Blazon : "In green over a golden three-mountain , topped with a black comb wheel , a silver scythe leaf , crossed by a silver hoe with a golden handle."
Justification of the coat of arms: Hoe and scythe on green ground are the symbol for the agriculture in the community. These are tools that testify to the diligence of the residents, with which they used to wrestle the fruit of the soil in laborious work. The golden three mountain is intended to indicate that the community is located in a hilly, sandy area, on which a considerable gravel harvest is currently taking place. As a sign of the fact that the proportion of the population who is active in agriculture has lately decreased significantly because commercial enterprises have become more and more important, the comb wheel has been included in the coat of arms.
