Dragons in Worms


Berlin has its bears and Hamburg has Hans Hummel. Worms has it dragons. There are dozens of dragons around town. They are all painted differently. Here is one in the pedestrian zone. A dragon is one of the key players in the Niebelungen story that is partially set in Worms. I even noticed an item on a menu called "Siegfried's Bloodbath". The hero Siegfried bathes in the blood of a dragon and becomes invincible. Except where a leaf falls on his back. It doesn't end well.
