PANTHER….
the panther is the emblem for the city of graz
you can find him in many places, i saw him on the street…..
this is the straight way to the canalization.
at 1245 graz had everything to became a city…
a market, it´s own jurisdiction, the city wall was built, with outskirts starting to grow…..
so the city got it´s own emblem with a panther on it.

As far as I know the Panther is the emblem of the federal state “Styria” and not just of Graz.
you are so right, but with the crown of stone it is the emblem of graz….
You live and learn … ;)
Thank you
