Sitzenberg is a small Lower Austrian municipality — today part of Sitzenberg-Reidling — and like hundreds of Austrian communes it resorted to printing its own emergency small change during the postwar Notgeld period, when metal coinage had essentially vanished from circulation and the central government could not keep up with demand. These hyperlocal issues were legal under Austrian emergency provisions and circulated almost exclusively within the issuing community.
F.F. Hofecker designed a number of Austrian Notgeld issues during this period. Whether printing was handled locally or contracted out to a regional press is not documented in the standard references for this piece.
