Hinterbrühl is a small village in Lower Austria best known as the site of the Seegrotte, the flooded gypsum mine that became a Heinkel aircraft factory under Nazi occupation — but in 1920 it was scrambling, like hundreds of Austrian municipalities, to plug a desperate shortage of small-change coinage. The collapse of the Habsburg monetary system after 1918 left local governments printing their own Notgeld simply to keep markets functioning.
Wehhofer of Mödling, a local printer rather than a specialist banknote house, produced this note — which accounts for the modest production values typical of the Lower Austrian municipal issues in this series.
