Looking ma sometimes. On the Lower Rhine, in the nice Xanten, spoilt by parents and relatives, proud Siegfried with whose curriculum vitae this legend should deal grew up. Father victory mouth and victory lime-tree, saw in the child - how many parents nowadays – a child prodigy completely without question.
Siegfried in the knight's virtue want to move out in the world … soon around himself to prove of value as a hero. It was a true blessing for him: A mighty dragon met him.
For Siegfried it was the signal: „Es remains to me no other choice; now I must stab the dragon. “ the lawn Soon coloured red, and, in the end, the dragon was dead. How Siegfried came really wondrously to his dragon's cornea. He had a bath in the dragon's blood, however as the destiny wanted it in such a way when he curled up in the blood pleasantly, a lime sheet fell from the tree exactly on his back. The dragon's blood flowed about that weg…
Es a free spot remained back. „Jetzt nobody more can defeat me! “ to the arrogance he should succumb. Almost he wanted again away, there he suddenly saw that hoard of the Nibelungen lying before himself.
He helped in fight against Danes and Saxons, he had grown to every war. Siegfried took Kriemhild to woman, very late in the tenth marriage year Kriemhilde bore a son.
