Pfullingen is a small Swabian town at the foot of the Swabian Alb, and this million-mark note is a product of the hyperinflation's most chaotic phase — the summer of 1923, when the Reichsmark was collapsing fast enough that municipal offices across Germany were authorized, and in practice compelled, to print their own emergency currency. This type is known as Notgeld, though by 1923 the earlier collector-oriented series had given way to genuinely desperate fiscal improvisation.
The Stadtschultheißenamt — the mayoral administrative office — acted as issuing authority, with an official stamp providing the only real authentication. Local printing kept costs and logistics manageable when postal and banking infrastructure was itself under strain.
