The Battle of Höchstädt was fought on 19 June 1800 on the North bank of the Danube near Höchstädt, and resulted in a French victory under General Jean Victor Marie Moreau against the Austrians under Baron Pál Kray. The Austrians were subsequently forced back into the fortress town of Ulm, a few miles to the West, virtually holding them under siege.
