Rutzenham is a small village in Upper Austria, and like hundreds of similarly minor municipalities, it issued its own emergency currency — Notgeld — during the severe coin shortage that followed the First World War. The Austrian state simply could not produce enough small-denomination coinage to meet everyday commercial demand, so the burden fell to local governments, cooperatives, and even individual businesses to fill the gap. This 10 Heller note is exactly that: a hyperlocal solution to a systemic monetary failure.
The two signatories, Josef Ba. Dinger and Johann Zistmairs, were almost certainly local officials — a mayor and a council member, or equivalent — rather than banking professionals. That informality is the point. These notes circulated among neighbors who knew each other.
