Neufelden is a small market town on the Große Mühl river in Upper Austria, and like hundreds of other Austrian municipalities it resorted to printing its own emergency Heller notes in 1919 when the postwar coin shortage left small-denomination currency almost entirely absent from daily commerce. These Notgeld issues were a local stopgap — authorized at the municipal level, typically printed in very small quantities, and redeemable only within the issuing community.
Survival rates vary enormously by town. Smaller municipalities often printed fewer notes and kept poorer records, making even common denominations genuinely difficult to trace today.
