Gröbming is a small market town in the Enns valley of Styria, and this 30 Heller note is a product of Austria's Notgeld wave — the municipal emergency currency issued across German-speaking regions between roughly 1919 and 1921 to address the acute coin shortage that followed the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system. Thousands of Austrian towns and communes printed their own small-denomination notes during this period, many with considerable local artistic ambition.
The Heller itself was abolished when Austria redenominated in 1925, making the entire Notgeld series obsolete by design.
