Lajtabánság, or the Banate of Leitha, was a short-lived western Hungarian state in the region where the Austrian federal state of Burgenland now exists. It existed between 4 October and 10 November 1921, following the Treaty of Trianon and the departure of the rump Kingdom of Hungary's army and after the Sopron plebiscite was held in the area according to the Venice protocol.
In 1921, Major Gyula Ostenburg-Moravek leads a detachment of mounted gendarmes through Sopron in support of the West-Hungarians who are protesting the Trianon Treaty which would turn over West Hungary to Austria.
