 Leitha - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After the 1867 Ausgleich between Austria and Hungary, which created the Dual Monarchy, Transleithanien ("beyond the Leitha") was the Viennese colloquial word for the region beyond the Leitha (meaning Hungary), while Cisleithanien ("on this side of the Leitha") was the region around Vienna (meaning Austria).
These names reflect the Viennese and Austrian perspectives towards the rest of the Empire, because the center of Vienna lay on this side, and the other half, Hungary, lay on that side.
Also, Galicia and Bukovina, which were counted as part of Cisleithania, lie far to Hungary's east.
