The Battle of Höchst (11–12 October 1795) saw a Habsburg Austrian army under François Sébastien Charles Joseph de Croix, Count of Clerfayt outmaneuver a French Republican army led by Jean-Baptiste Jourdan. At Höchst, the French attacked but were unable to dislodge an Austrian flanking column. Afterward Jourdan's army retreated to the north. The clash happened during the War of the First Coalition, part of a wider conflict known as the French Revolutionary Wars. The district of Höchst is located within the city limits of Frankfurt in the state of Hesse in Germany. Höchst is about 12 kilometers (7 mi) west of the Frankfurt city center.
