![Helbig's travel routes in North Sumatra and on the island of Nias. Simplified according to Figure 4 in his study ''Beiträge zur Landeskunde von Sumatra.

Helbig's works are characterized by sharp powers of observation, instructive content, and clear, understandable language. In addition to his scientific works on geography and ethnography, he wrote popular travelogues, books for young people, and adventure novellas in which he presented his experiences to a wider public in a vivid and entertaining manner. The same applies to his lectures, which he gave at home and abroad in schools and scientific institutes. He spoke fluent English, Spanish and Malay.
Helbig was awarded the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany with Ribbon and the State Prize for Science of the State of Mexico. Provided by Wikipedia
