The battle resulted in a Hungarian victory , ending Austrian claims to the western counties of Hungary . Its exact location is unknown , according to the description delivered by contemporary minnesinger Ulrich von Liechtenstein the battlefield may have been between the towns of Ebenfurth and Neufeld . After their defeat at the 955 Battle of Lechfeld , the Magyars had discontinued their attacks on Germany and settled in the former Roman province of Pannonia , where they established the Kingdom of Hungary . The adjacent territories west of the Leitha were incorporated as the March of Styria into the Holy Roman Empire . In 1180 Emperor Frederick Barbarossa raised the Styrian lands to a duchy , which in 1192 was acquired by the Austrian dukes from the House of Babenberg . Since 1241 the Hungarian kingdom suffered heavy losses in the course of the Mongol invasion of Europe , culminating in the disastrous Battle of Mohi . The Babenberg duke Frederick II , haughty and overambitious , made use of this weakness , attacked Hungary and claimed the western comitati of Moson , Sopron and Vasvár . The Hungarian King Bela IV Árpád however was able to made a stand against the Austrian invasion : Supported by the liensmen of his son - in - law Prince Rostislav Mikhailovich he gathered his troops and marched against Frederick ' s forces , which were challenged at the Leitha and the Duke himself was killed on the battlefield . The battle marked the end of the ruling House of Babenberg and sparked another conflict , for the rule over the ceased Imperial fiefs of Austria and Styria between Árpád Hungary and the Bohemian king Ottokar II , leading to the Battle of Kressenbrunn in 1260 and the Battle on the Marchfeld in 1278 . The Leitha river remained the borderline between Austria and Hungary ( Cis - and Transleithania ) until 1918 . Sources .
