Since the Reformation brought Calvinism to Hungary and the Thirty-Years War (1618?1648) established Debrecen as a fortress of the Reformed faith, Hungary's second largest city has been known as "The Hungarian Geneva." Calvinism gave Debrecen its first printing house, established in 1561 to publish works that buttressed Reformation theology. And in 1538, Protestants founded the College of Debrecen, later to become the Protestant College of Eastern Europe, famous for educating ministers and teachers for Reformed churches in Eastern Europe. The Protestant Church in Romania (Transylvania) began as moderate Lutherans, but from 1550 on, however, the majority of the Church turned to the Reformed Reformation.
