Weitersfelden is a small market town in the Mühlviertel region of Upper Austria, and this note belongs to the vast wave of Austrian Notgeld issued after the First World War when small-denomination coins vanished entirely from circulation. What sets this piece apart is its printer and designer: Klemens Brosch of Urfahr was a genuinely accomplished graphic artist whose Notgeld commissions are among the most sought by collectors of the genre — not for the issuing town, but for the hand behind the design.
Brosch died in 1926 at thirty-six, leaving a relatively small body of commercial work. His Notgeld pieces are now the most widely circulated examples of his art.
