Hinterbrühl is a small village south of Vienna, best known as the site of the Seegrotte — a flooded gypsum mine later used for aircraft production under Nazi occupation. In 1920, the municipality was issuing its own emergency small change for far more mundane reasons: the postwar collapse of the Habsburg monetary system left Austria chronically short of coins, and hundreds of communities printed their own Notgeld to fill the gap.
Wehhofer of nearby Mödling was a local jobbing printer, not a security press. That matters when assessing paper quality and consistency across the run.
