Klagenfurt is the capital of the state Carinthia in the south of Austria. The name Klagenfurt was first mentioned in the late 12th century and legend has it that Klagenfurt was founded after a couple of brave men had slain the abominable Lindwurm, a winged dragon. The city is located next to the lake Woerthersee, one of the most beautiful lakes in Austria, surrounded by several forest-covered hills and mountains. Being a small city, with a Renaissance-style city center reflecting 800 years of history and with an Italian influence, Klagenfurt is a pleasant place to live and work.
