Sitzenberg is a small village in Lower Austria — today part of the merged municipality of Sitzenberg-Reidling — and this 20 Heller note is a product of the Notgeld wave that swept Austrian municipalities between 1919 and 1921. With the old Habsburg currency system in collapse and small coinage effectively vanishing from circulation, thousands of communes printed their own emergency money. Most were redeemable in theory; in practice, many issuers lacked the reserves to back them.
The designer credit to E.F. Hopecher is unusually specific for a village-level issue. Whether printed locally or through one of the Vienna commercial printers servicing rural Notgeld commissions is not definitively established.
