Lüneburg's wealth in the sixteenth century rested almost entirely on salt — the city controlled the Lüneburg Heath saltworks, among the most productive in northern Europe, and that revenue underpinned the right to strike gold. This gulden was issued just as the city's mining infrastructure was beginning its long structural decline; the salt deposits were causing catastrophic ground subsidence that would eventually swallow entire neighborhoods.
