The fight is considered one of the biggest battles in Central Europe in the Middle Ages, though scholars doubt the possibility of supplying such a vast number of mercenaries.

The memorial is located at the eastern edge of the Groissenbrunn municipality, near the road to the Morava river. The author of the memorial plaque's artistic design is Vladislav Plekanec.
