Dear Mrs. Notch, the town of Hellenhausen is a part of the parish of Eyweiler and was located only 450 meter from the parish town away. Today it is a part of Eyweiler in the district of Saarbruecken and Saarlouis. In 1905 it had only 91 roman catholic inhabitans, the town Eyweiler had 638. The other town in the parish was Kirchhof with 142 inhabitans. So the whole parish had 3 towns with 871 roman catholic people and 6 protestants in Eyweiler. Perhaps these towns are today a part of the city of Saarbruecken, the capital city of the Saarland,Germany ? I will look for more information.
