The Lindwurm statue can be found in the center of Klagenfurt, Austria and it is the icon of the city. You can find it on public buildings, cars and envelopes. A myth tells that in the area now covered by Klagenfurt there was once a dragon-like giant worm causing people walking into this area to disappear.
It is said that as a prize for slaying this beast all grounds around Klagenfurt where offered. The statue shows the person defeating the Lindwurm and by that creating the foundation of the city of Klagenfurt.
