Hinterbrühl is a small village south of Vienna, best known today as the site of the Seegrotte, a flooded gypsum mine later used as a Heinkel He 162 assembly plant during the Second World War. In 1920, however, the municipality was contending with a far more mundane crisis: the catastrophic coin shortage that swept Austria following the collapse of the Habsburg economy. Hundreds of Austrian municipalities issued their own Notgeld, and Hinterbrühl was among them.
Wehhofers Erben in nearby Mödling printed this note — a logical choice given the short distance, since local printers were heavily used for the municipal emergency issues of Lower Austria.
