Christian Hellener was a descendant of a prominent German family, the Von Helleners.Christian came to America when he was a young man. He landed in New York, then went to Philadelphia where he learned the trade of a baker which he followed for some years. He then moved to Upper Saucon Twp. in Lehigh Co. and followed the trade of weaving carpets and bed spreads. Later he became a marble cutter and artist.Around 1852 he bought a 32 acre farm in the eastern end of Salisbury Twp., in the area which is now Fountain Hill in South Bethlehem. He farmed the property and continued his trade as a stone cutter. He was also a gifted artist and left a number of water color paintings to his heirs. Two streets in Fountain Hill, Christian Street and Hellener Street, are named after him and may be situated on the boundaries of his old farm. It was said that he was a descendant of the Von Helleners, who were a knighted German family in early Germany.

Local History Collection Finding Aids
Papers and Artwork of Christian Friedrich Hellener include materials relating to the history of the Hellener and Morey families, but perhaps more significantly include a fascinating collection of watercolors done by Mr. Hellener over the years. His artwork reflects a man who was probably very well-educated, and had a fascination with the world around him. Favorite subjects included members of the animal kingdom, but he also frequently dealt with historical subjects as well. Bright colors and an active imagination can be seen in his art.
