Thank you all for the help. Should I lower the whole helmet in a mixture of water and vinegar. Or should I use the method of stuffing the helmet with wet newspaper? To then put it on a hat stand and let it dry.

I first thought of reshaping it. I think the color still looks good and has a nice patina! But the letaher is hard like a rock Maybe also try to reshape the visor on it." And finally restore and find new metal parts."

Hello, I'm new to this forum. Just bought a lot with 5 different pickelhaubes, which I want to try to renovate for home display. I'm planning to start with this one. I'll gladly accept all tips to be able to recreate this helmet. ☺️
