Burscheid is a small industrial town in the Bergisches Land, east of Cologne, and like hundreds of German municipalities in 1923 it was forced to print its own emergency currency as the Reichsbank's hyperinflationary spiral made official denominations obsolete within days of issue. The Städtische Sparkasse — the municipal savings bank — acted as the practical issuing authority, a common arrangement where the legal fiction of civic backing gave the paper whatever local credibility it could hold.
By mid-1923, one million marks was roughly the price of a loaf of bread. Notes at this denomination had a useful life measured in hours.
