The city of Murnau is said to have previously been called Wurmau. According to old legend, an enormous dragon or worm was killed near Murnau in the distant past, which caused great damage to people and cattle.

Just a few years ago there was a brick column near the place with illegible writing carved into the stone on which the harmful worm is said to have been killed. A snap valve saved the place. He filled the skin of a calf with unslaked lime and threw such food to the dragon.

Even today, the market has a dragon in its coat of arms with claws reaching forward, jaws open and red tongue outstretched.
