This is one of the terminal-denomination Notgeld issues from the height of the German hyperinflation — one trillion marks, printed in October or November 1923 when the Reichsmark had effectively ceased to function as a unit of account. By this point, municipal treasuries across Germany were issuing emergency currency not because they had monetary authority but because they had printing presses and their employees needed to be paid in something that could buy bread before noon if not after.
Wetzlar's city treasury contracted locally with Scharfes Druckereien, keeping the entire operation within the town. Redemption was promised in future stable currency, a pledge most municipalities quietly abandoned once the Rentenmark stabilization took hold in late November 1923.
