| Comments |
Schlägl is a small village in Upper Austria, home to a Premonstratensian monastery that has operated continuously since the twelfth century. Like hundreds of Austrian municipalities, Schlägl issued its own notgeld during the postwar economic collapse, when coin shortages made small-denomination exchange nearly impossible. These local emergency notes were authorized under a broader Austrian framework that effectively deputized municipalities as temporary monetary authorities — a situation that would have been unthinkable a decade earlier.
Felix Hauberlarr's involvement places this note within the artistically ambitious strand of Austrian notgeld, where local pride and graphic ambition frequently outran the utilitarian purpose of the issue. Leopold Woss signed as issuing authority for the municipality.
