Lindwurmstraße
The Lindwurmstraße is a 2.4-kilometer poplar alley in the Munich districts Ludwigsvorstadt-Isarvorstadt and Sendling. Location and Route The Lindwurmstraße runs one kilometer to the northwest, parallel to the Isar and mostly just at an altitude of about 520 m above sea level from the ''Sendlinger Tor'' in a southwesterly direction. Between Poccistraße and Implerstraße, it passes under the ''Münchner Südring'', a railway line that connects '' Bahnhof München Ost'' with '' München Hauptbahnhof'' and the Laim shunting yard to the south of the city center. Only shortly before its southern end in Munich-Sendling, it rises to the Pfeuferstraße at 534 m above sea level. Well-known occupants are, umong others, the ''Klinikum Großhadern'', the '' Haunersche Kinderspital'' as well as the churches St. Matthäus and St. Margaret. History The Bavarian archival cadaster shows the Lindwurmstraße in the 1810s as a then, nameless Chaussee, that leads past the ''Burgfriedstein N ...

People From The Kingdom Of Bavaria
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...

William Stokes (physician)
William Stokes (1 October 1804 – 10 January 1878) was an Irish physician, who was Regius Professor of Physic at the University of Dublin. He graduated from the University of Edinburgh Medical School with an MD in 1825 later returning the practice in Dublin at Meath Hospital. He went on to create two important works on cardiac and pulmonary diseases – ''A Treatise on the Diagnosis and Treatment of Diseases of the Chest'' (1837) and ''The Diseases of the Heart and Aorta'' (1854) – as well as one of the first treatises on the use of the stethoscope. He emphasised the importance of clinical examination in forming diagnoses, and of ward-based learning for students of medicine. Both Cheyne–Stokes breathing (the alternation of apnoea with tachypnoea) and Stokes–Adams syndrome are named after him. ''Stokes' sign'' is a severe throbbing in the abdomen, at the right of the umbilicus, in acute enteritis. ''Stokes law'' is that a muscle situated above an inflamed membrane i ...

German Mythology
Continental Germanic mythology formed an element within Germanic paganism as practiced in parts of Central Europe occupied by Germanic peoples up to and including the 6th to 8th centuries (the period of Germanic Christianization). Traces of some of the myths lived on in legends and in the Middle High German epics of the Middle Ages. Echoes of the stories, with the sacred elements largely removed, may appear throughout European folklore and in European fairy tales. Tribes The mythologies of the following tribes are included in this category: *Lombards (source: Paulus Diaconus) * Alamanni (see: Nordendorf fibula, Pforzen buckle) *Franks and Thuringii (see: Frankish mythology, Donar's Oak) *Saxons (see: Irminsul) *Frisii (source: Life of Saint Willibrord) *Baiuvarii Paganism Compared to North Germanic and, to a lesser extent, Anglo-Saxon mythology, examples of Continental Germanic paganism are extremely fragmentary. Besides a handful of brief Elder Futhark inscriptions the ...

Lindwurm
The lindworm (''worm'' meaning snake), also spelled lindwyrm or lindwurm, is a mythical creature in Northern and Central European folklore living deep in the forest that traditionally has the shape of a giant serpent monster. It can be seen as a sort of dragon. According to legend, everything that lies under the lindworm will increase as the lindworm grows, giving rise to tales of dragons that brood over treasures to become richer. Legend tells of two kinds of lindworm, a good one associated with luck, often a cursed prince who has been transformed into another beast (as in the fairy tale The Frog Prince), and a bad one, a dangerous man-eater which will attack humans on sight. A lindworm may swallow its own tail, turning itself into a rolling wheel, as a method of pursuing fleeing humans. The head of the 16th-century lindworm statue at Lindwurm Fountain () in Klagenfurt, Austria, is modeled on the skull of a woolly rhinoceros found in a nearby quarry in 1335. It has been cited as ...
