Gerotten and Pötzles are two small villages in Lower Austria that jointly issued this Heller note during the Notgeld emergency of the First World War, when the collapse of small-denomination metal coinage forced even the most obscure rural communes to produce their own paper substitutes. Joint-issue notes from two distinct settlements sharing a single Ortsgemeinde authority are among the more unusual administrative arrangements in the Austrian Notgeld record.
Ed. J. Wallners Ww. — a Viennese widows' printing house — handled production for numerous small-community issues during this period, which accounts for a certain consistency in paper quality across otherwise unrelated provincial notes.
