Karl Primmer was a private trader in Wels, Upper Austria, who issued his own notgeld during the acute coin shortage that followed the First World War. These small-denomination municipal and commercial emergency notes were an entirely normal feature of Austrian economic life between 1919 and 1922 — hundreds of businesses, municipalities, and associations printed their own — but private merchant issues like Primmer's are considerably less common in surviving form than the municipal series.
Wels had an active local notgeld circulation, and commercial issuers typically printed in very small runs, often through a local job printer.
