Rosenheim's million-mark note dates from August 1923, the peak of the Weimar hyperinflation, when municipal and regional authorities throughout Germany were issuing their own emergency currency — Notgeld — to compensate for the Reich's inability to supply legal tender in usable denominations fast enough. By mid-1923, a note worth a million marks was worth almost nothing within weeks of printing. Gebrüder Parcus of Munich was one of the more prolific Bavarian commercial printers handling these emergency contracts, producing issues for multiple municipalities across the region simultaneously.
The sheer volume of Notgeld printed in this period means survivors are common, but dated examples from specific issuing towns can still attract regional collector interest.
