K. u. k. Kriegsgefangenen-Gewerbelager Brunn am Gebirge was an Austro-Hungarian prisoner-of-war camp industrial facility operating during the First World War, located at Brunn am Gebirge south of Vienna. Camp scrip of this type — denominated in Heller and issued under dual Austro-Hungarian military authority — was a controlled internal currency, preventing prisoners from accumulating spendable money usable outside the wire. The "Civilian Islands" designation in the catalog likely reflects a subcategory within the Lagergeld classification system rather than a geographical reference.
Signed by Puskás and Popletsan, both presumably camp administrative officers. The pairing of two surnames suggests countersignature protocol rather than a single issuing authority.
