I do not want to have widows and orphans. Because of this I use: \clubpenalty=10000 \widowpenalty=10000

But this has no effect. Still the last two lines of a paragraph are put on the next page instead of the complete paragraph.

I think you are confusing things here: orphans and widows refer to single lines on the following/preceding page. So if you get two lines, you get exactly what you ask for. If I understand you correctly, you do not want to break paragraphs vertically at all?

Okay, I did not understand the terminology correctly.

Yes, in this particular case I would like not to break them.

I don't know whether that still works in ConTeXt, but try \interlinepenalty=10000

What would also be acceptable is when there are at least five lines on the page.

Try this (again untested): \clubpenalties 5 10000 10000 10000 10000 10000 \widowpenalties 5 10000 10000 10000 10000 10000
