| Anmerkungen |
At the peak of Germany's 1923 hyperinflation, private companies were legally permitted to issue their own emergency currency — Notgeld — to meet payroll when Reichsbank notes simply couldn't be printed fast enough to keep pace with collapsing purchasing power. Theodor Reichardt's cocoa and chocolate company in Wandsbek was among hundreds of industrial firms that took up this authority, printing its own million-mark notes in-house rather than through a commercial printer.
The self-printing is the detail worth noting: the Hausdruckerei designation confirms this was produced on the company's own press, making it as much a production artifact as a monetary one.
