The battle was depicted in art especially during the rise of nationalism in the 19th century, when it was viewed as the example of a traditional cooperation between Habsburg dynasty (Austria) and Kingdom of Hungary from one side and the traditional tension between Habsburg dynasty and Bohemia from the Czech side.

The tragedy König Ottokars Glück und Ende written by Franz Grillparzer in 1823 is based on the rise and fall of king Ottokar II.
This drama was originally inspired by the life of Napoleon, though Grillparzer, fearing Metternich's censorship, chose to write the play about Ottokar, in whose story he found many parallels.
It nevertheless was immediately forbidden and could not be performed until 1825.
Grillparzer perpetuated the legend of Ottokar's wife Margaret of Babenberg unsuccessfully trying to reconcile the opponents on the eve of the battle.
In fact, Margaret had died already in 1266.

The opera The Brandenburgers in Bohemia composed by Czech composer Bedřich Smetana in 1863 was inspired by this battle and following events as well.
