Preitenegg is a municipality in the district of Wolfsberg, in the Austrian state of Carinthia. It lies in the southern part of Austria, within the Wolfsberg district, which forms part of the broader Carinthia region.
As a municipality, Preitenegg is one of the administrative units that make up the Wolfsberg district, alongside other towns and villages in the area. Carinthia is Austria's southernmost state, and the Wolfsberg district is situated in its eastern portion.
Beyond its status as a municipality within this district, few further details are available in the source material. Preitenegg is therefore best understood as a small administrative community in the Carinthian countryside, defined primarily by its location within the Wolfsberg district and the state of Carinthia.
