The dragon saga of the city is depicted around the pillars of the dragon fountain.
The dragon is part of the city's history.

At this point / I would like to quickly / say something about the source
(whereby it corresponds to the art of poetry / if this 'source' is a 'well'):
To quote the incomparable humorist Heinz Erhardt (1909 - 1979), who was known to a wide audience for his word jokes and "Noch'n poem", with a short quatrain:
"There is certainly much beauty in
on the element, the wet.
Because you can drink the water.
But you can - also leave it."
(H.Erhardt)

In 879, the sons of Otto von Pont, Wichard and Lupold learned that a fire-breathing dragon was sleeping under a medlar tree. The brothers decided to kill him and they succeeded. As the dragon lay dying, he called out "Gelre" three times. Therefore, the brothers founded a castle at this point, which they called Gelre and at the gates of which the city of the same name developed.
Three medlar blossoms in the city's coat of arms are still reminiscent of the medlar tree under which the dragon was killed.
