Videm is a settlement and a municipality in Slovenia. It includes part of the flatlands to the south of Ptuj and extends beyond the river Dravinja into the Haloze hills to the south. The area traditionally belonged to the region of Styria. It is now included in the Podravska statistical region.[2]
The administrative centre of the municipality is the settlement of Videm, also known as Videm pri Ptuju to distinguish from other settlements with the same name. Before 1952 it was known as Sveti Vid pri Ptuju. It gets its name from the parish church, dedicated to Saint Vitus. It belings to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Maribor. It is first mentioned in written documents dating to 1320. The current building dates to the mid 15th century with 17th century Baroque additions.[3]
