Pöndorf is a small municipality in Upper Austria, and this 30 Heller note belongs to the vast wave of Notgeld issued across Austria between 1919 and 1922 as small coin essentially vanished from circulation following the economic dislocation of the First World War. Hundreds of municipalities, down to villages of a few hundred souls, were authorized to print their own emergency fractional currency — the result being one of the most fragmented local currency episodes in European monetary history.
The KK Banknoten catalog reference places this among a numbered series of Pöndorf issues, suggesting the municipality produced multiple denominations. Signatories Fr. Schinagl and Jos. Pichler were almost certainly local officials, likely the Bürgermeister and a council member or treasurer.
