The Brandenburgers in Bohemia (Czech: Braniboři v Čechách) is a three-act opera, the first by Bedřich Smetana.

[4] Upon the death of King Ottokar II in the 1278 Battle on the Marchfeld, his widow Kunigunda had called in the Brandenburgian troops to lend aid against the army of victorious Rudolf of Habsburg.

The Prague people led by mayor Volfram Olbramovič suffer from the Brandenburg occupation.

Ludiše, the mayor's daughter, rejects the approaches made by the German townsman Jan Tausendmark, who thereupon joins the occupants.

Thus, Austrian censors had no strong reason to object to an opera presenting Brandenburgers as villains.
