Hinterbrühl is a small Lower Austrian village best known today as the site of the Seegrotte, a flooded gypsum mine that the Nazi regime later used as an underground aircraft factory. This 75 Heller note predates all of that — it belongs to the Austrian Notgeld wave of 1920–1921, when municipal governments across the country issued their own small-denomination emergency scrip to compensate for a chronic shortage of coins following the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system.
Three signatures authenticating a 75 Heller note from a village of a few thousand people is exactly the kind of bureaucratic thoroughness that characterizes Lower Austrian Notgeld.
