To relieve the peasants from the #Lindworm, the Duke of #Carinthia made them built a huge, strong tower at the limits of the swamps. Fearless knights hid there, and a stout bull tied to a chain with barbs was presented as a bait. Soon the winged Lindworm appeared and devoured the bull - and hung wriggling on the chain like a fish on the hook. At once he was slain by the knights. Later the swamps were drained, and the tower was replaced by a castle. Thus the town Klagenfurt was founded. The city-arms still show tower and dragon to remind us of this heroic deed. @9020tweets
