The 0 Euro souvenir note program, administered by EuroSouvenir and printed by Oberthur Fiduciaire, began in 2015 as a licensed novelty format — legal in design but carrying no monetary value, issued purely for the collector and tourist trade. Ulm, as Einstein's birthplace, is one of the more defensible subjects in a catalog that includes some genuinely absurd choices. Einstein was born there on 14 March 1879; his family relocated to Munich within the year, so Ulm's claim is biographical but brief.
Oberthur's security printing credentials are real, and these notes do incorporate some genuine banknote-grade features, which is most of the point.
