The Lindwurm Song was written in the summer of 2012 by
Ruth-Barbara Schlenker, pastor in Niedertrebra near Apolda
● a proud, falling, and dying count
● a wayward horse
● a fair daughter and later bride
● the Edeiknabe, squire, and groom Veit
● two hideous lindworms
● an unsuccessful knight, an old hermit
● the inhabitants of Schöten joined in.
The carcasses of two lindworms – named War and Crime – have recently contaminated this richly blessed region of Thuringia in central Germany.

According to the legend: Near Apolda in Schöter Reason, two lewworms lived the great damage done to the cattle. A servant who went to the servant's handmaid was either forced to die or to fight for the lewwuders. He cleaned the two lewworms by chopping off their tails in their sleep. In honor of a fountain was built.

The list of dragon places includes places where a dragon (or lindworm) lived and / or is said to have been defeated. Admission criterion is evidence of a local dragon saga.
Schött near Apolda: noble boy Veit, ancestor of those at Vitzthum, killed two lindworms in the swamps at the location of what would later become the village
