Hinterbrühl is a small village in Lower Austria, best known as the site of the Seegrotte — a flooded gypsum mine that the Nazis later used for Heinkel He 162 subassembly production. The 80 Heller denomination is an awkward one, suggesting this note was issued to bridge a specific gap in small-change availability rather than as part of a rationalized series. Austria's Notgeld wave of 1920 was driven by a genuine coin shortage and runaway inflation following the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system, leaving municipalities scrambling to print whatever values their local commerce actually required.
Wehhofers Erben was a Mödling-based printing house — local to the issuing municipality, which was typical of the smaller Austrian Notgeld issues. The designer credit "Wild" is too thin to trace further with confidence.
