Hochfilzen is a small alpine commune in the Kitzbühel district, and its 1919 Heller notgeld issue belongs to the wave of emergency municipal scrip that flooded Tyrol following the collapse of the Habsburg state. The Wagner press in Innsbruck handled a considerable volume of Tyrolean notgeld commissions in this period — the same operation printed issues for several nearby communes, which occasionally causes attribution confusion in collections where printer's marks have been trimmed.
At 75 Heller, this is an uncommon denomination for the series. Most Hochfilzen issues concentrated on the 10, 20, and 50 Heller values.
