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, none of that was relevant. What was relevant was the catastrophic small-coin shortage that followed Austria's postwar economic collapse, which pushed hundreds of Austrian municipalities — Hinterbrühl among them — to print their own emergency fractional currency, the Notgeld.
Wehhofer in nearby Mödling was a logical choice for a village of this size: a local printer for a purely local instrument. These notes were typically redeemable only within the issuing commune, which kept most of them from traveling far.
