Marsbach is a small market town in the Mühlviertel region of Upper Austria, and like hundreds of similar municipalities it resorted to issuing its own emergency paper money — Notgeld — when small-denomination coinage effectively vanished from circulation in the years immediately following World War One. The 30 Heller denomination sits in the middle of what Marsbach issued; the municipality typically produced multiple values simultaneously to cover everyday transactions that metallic currency could no longer handle.
L. Haase of Linz was a regional commercial printer responsible for a considerable volume of Upper Austrian municipal Notgeld, which accounts for the consistent if modest production quality seen across this and similar issues. The single signatory, Matth. Schlagintweit, was almost certainly the Bürgermeister at the time of issue.
