Hinterbrühl is a small village in Lower Austria, best known as the site of the Seegrotte — Europe's largest underground lake, used by Heinkel for subterranean aircraft production during the Second World War. In 1920, that was still two decades away. The immediate problem was the catastrophic coin shortage that followed Austria-Hungary's dissolution, which drove hundreds of Austrian municipalities to print their own fractional emergency currency — Notgeld — to keep local commerce moving.
Wehkhofers Erben was a Mödling printing house, making this a genuinely local production in every sense: issued, printed, and redeemable within a few kilometers of each other.
