Why was germany's split between protestants in the north and catholics in the south important?

The protestantism is a movement that began in northern europe in the early 6th century as a reaction to medieval Roman Catholic doctrines and practices.

By the other hand the catholicism is more referred to the traditions and beliefs of Catholics church it also known as  the Roman Catholic church.

Germany was splitted  mayorly due to Martin Luther in 1517 and his protestant reformation ( along with Philip Melanchthon, Huldrich Zwingli in Zurich and John Calvin in Geneva ) split the western Christian church in two.
