About Paternion

Paternion is a market city within the district of Villach-Land in the Austrian kingdom of Carinthia. It is positioned in the Drava valley about 18 kilometres in the north-west of the city of Villach. Paternion is subdivided into six Katastralgemeinden: Feistritz an der Drau, Kamering, Kreuzen, Nikelsdorf, Paternion and Rubland. Settled because the Hallstatt subculture, the region became first referred to as St. Paternianus in a 1296 deed, named after Saint Paternian, the Bishop of Fano, as the area south of the Drava then belonged to the Patriarchate of Aquileia. In 1530 Paternion acquired marketplace rights from Archduke Ferdinand I of Austria.

With a percent of about 30%, the municipality is today one of the centres of Protestantism in Carinthia. Protestantism is the second one biggest form of Christianity with collectively between 800 million and greater than 900 million adherents global or almost 40% of all Christians. It originated with the 16th century Reformation, a movement towards what its fans seemed to be mistakes inside the Roman Catholic Church. Protestants reject the Roman Catholic doctrine of papal supremacy and sacraments, but disagree among themselves regarding the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist.
