I have never heard of the problems that Father Christmas was encountering in Austria, but as far as I can tell from your posts, he was only banned at the Viennese Christmas market… I believe this particular market is taking place for centuries in front of the town hall, I suppose it’s quite traditional or at least organised so that it appears traditional, and actually bears the name of the Christ Child that you mentioned and which is apparently the equivalent of Father Christmas in Austria (name of the market in german: "Christkindlmarkt")... therefore...
in the south of Germany (in the catholic part of the country, I would say) they also have those "Christkindlmärkte", so I guess the same problem arised...
but were there really people protesting with banners?
