In the old city in Nuernberg, the house of Albrecht Durer is just below the castle that overlooks the town. The Durer house is on a squre. And on one corner of one of the buildings on the square is a statue of St. George slaying the Dragon
In my attempts to learn more about this particular statue (which were unsuccessful), I learned that it was in Nuernberg in the 1400s that the Order of the Dragon was originally formed by the Holy Roman Emperor Sigismund. One of the original members was one of the princes of Wallachia, named Vlad. His son was Vlad the Impaler, who eventually become known as Dracula (e.g. son of Drac, the word Drac being dervied from the German word for Dragon, which is Drachen)
