Hinterbrühl is a small village south of Vienna in Lower Austria, better known as the site of the Seegrotte — the largest underground lake in Europe, flooded after a 1912 mining accident. This 80 Heller note has nothing to do with that, but it places the village firmly in the Notgeld wave that swept Austrian municipalities in 1920 as postwar inflation and a chronic shortage of small-denomination coinage forced even the smallest communities to print their own emergency money.
Wehhofers Erben was a Mödling printer of modest regional standing. The 80 Heller denomination is slightly unusual — most Gemeinde issues clustered around rounder values.
