Lindwurm from Klagenfurt
 
The lindworm is the town's landmark. According to a legend, an evil dragon infested the region where Klagenfurt is located today. The duke of Karnburg promised land to those who would catch and kill the dragon. Eventually a group of menials achieved to kill the dragon by a trick. They got the promised land and set up a village at the place where the dragon was killed. The monument was built in the 16th century. The head of the lindworm was shaped after the head of an glacial rhinoceros found in the same century in this region.
The dragon is also on posts:

I have been fascinated by dragons ever since I was very young and was first told about Siegfried slaying the dragon in the legend of the Song of the Nibelungen. This 1926 Austrian stamp issued as part of a set shows Siegfried after he slew the dragon. He appears to be wiping his brow as if to say " Man this was close"  This Austrian stamp below was issued for the 2008 Euro Cup which was played in 8 different city stadiums in Austria and Switzerland. Klagenfurt, capital of Carinthia one of the cities chosen has the dragon or Lindwurm as it's symbol. Austria Scott 2148  |
