Bad Doberan was a small spa town in Mecklenburg, and its savings bank — the Sparkasse — joined the flood of municipal emergency issuers during the German inflation crisis of 1922. The 1.50 Mark denomination is characteristically awkward, a fractional value that emerged not from any logical monetary unit but from the practical need to fill gaps left by the shortage of Reichsbank small change.
Carl Flemming & Wiskott in Glogau handled a substantial volume of Notgeld contracts during this period, and the watermarked paper on a note of this face value signals a modest but deliberate investment in anti-counterfeiting — unusual for a denomination this low from an issuer this small.
