Dornbach was absorbed into Greater Vienna in 1892, becoming part of the 17th district (Hernals), yet this note was issued by the commune nearly three decades later — a quirk that reflects how Austria's post-war currency collapse forced even administratively defunct local entities to improvise emergency Notgeld. The hyperinflationary pressure of 1919–1920 left small communities scrambling for small-denomination paper that the central banking system simply couldn't supply fast enough.
F. Seitenberg, operating out of Vienna's 3rd district, handled a number of these Austrian municipal emergency issues. A workaday provincial printer, not a security press.
