Hinterbrühl is a small village in Lower Austria, best known as the site of the Seegrotte — a flooded gypsum mine that became, during the Second World War, an underground Heinkel He 162 jet aircraft factory. In 1920, though, the village was dealing with a far more mundane crisis: the acute coin shortage that followed Austria's economic collapse after the First World War. Hundreds of Austrian municipalities issued their own Notgeld to fill the gap, and Hinterbrühl was among them.
The printer, Wehhofer of nearby Mödling, handled several local emergency issues in the region during this period.
