Communities

The oldest Protestant parishes in the diocese are the so-called tolerance communities. After Emperor Joseph II had issued the first tolerance patent on October 13, 1781, with which Protestant religious practice in the Habsburg crown lands was no longer punishable, the previous ones began in Upper Austria to confess existing secret Protestants to their denomination.

In Upper Austria, nine tolerance communities were initially established: (Bad) Goisern (1782) with the tolerance prayer houses in Goisern and Hallstatt, Eferding (1783), Gosau (1784), Neukematen (1783), Rutzenmoos (1782), Scharten (1782), Thening (1783) ), Wallern an der Trattnach (1782), Wels (1782).

In 1813, another tolerance community was formed in Attersee by splitting off from Rutzenmoos. All later tolerance communities in the federal states of Salzburg and Tyrol are also derived from Rutzenmoos , since Upper Austria formed a joint diocese with Salzburg and Tyrol until 1966.
