Map of the
Austro-Hungarian Empire: the lighter green shows Hungary proper and the darker green shows autonomous Croatia-Slavonia. The green areas as a whole comprise the borders of Transleithania
'Transleithania' (
German: ''Transleithanien'') was an unofficial term for the
Hungarian part of
Austria-Hungary, the Dual monarchy created in
1867 and dissolved in
1918. The Transleithanian lands were also known as the
Lands of the Crown of St. Stephen (or of the Hungarian Holy Crown).
The
Latin name Transleithania derives from the
Leitha (''Lajta'') river - most of its territory lay east (or "beyond" the river, from an Austrian perspective) of it.
Cisleithania, the lands of the
Austrian Empire in the Dual Monarchy, lay to the west of the Leitha river.
Transleithania consisted of the
Kingdom of Hungary (''Magyar Királyság''), the internally self-governed
Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia (''Horvát-Szlavónia Királyság''), and the
free port of
Rijeka (''Fiume'').
