| Comments |
Hadersdorf-Weidlingau was a small municipality west of Vienna — absorbed into the city in 1938 — and like hundreds of Austrian communes in 1920 it printed its own emergency small change. The postwar collapse of the Habsburg monetary system had drained copper and nickel coinage from circulation almost entirely, forcing local authorities to fill the gap themselves. These Notgeld issues were legal within their issuing municipality only, and most were redeemed and pulped within a few years.
H. Engel & Söhne operated out of Vienna's 7th district and handled a substantial share of the municipal Notgeld print run across Lower Austria during this period.
