Krummnussbaum is a small municipality in Lower Austria on the Danube, and this 1920 Heller note is a product of the postwar Notgeld wave that swept Austrian and German communities when central monetary supply collapsed following the armistice. Municipalities, businesses, and institutions printed their own emergency fractional currency to keep local trade moving — the 20 Heller denomination was among the most practically useful for daily transactions.
Langhammer of Linz was a regional commercial printer drawn into Notgeld production by sheer demand, not specialist banknote work. The designer credit to O. Reittinger is relatively uncommon for a note at this humble level; most comparable issues were unsigned workshop productions.
