Rodaun was a small village southwest of Vienna — now absorbed into the 23rd district — that resorted to issuing its own emergency paper during the acute coin shortage that gripped Austria from 1916 onward. These municipal Heller notes, collectively known as Notgeld, were a grassroots response to a wartime economy that had driven metal coinage into hoarding and industrial use almost entirely.
F. Seitenberg operated out of Vienna's third district and handled a number of these small municipal commissions. The print runs were modest by design — enough to keep local commerce moving, no more.
