| Opmerkingen |
Hersfeld's municipal administration issued this Kriegsgeld note under the emergency currency provisions that proliferated across German towns in 1918, as the Reichsbank's coin supply had effectively collapsed under wartime metal requisitioning. The Magistrat — the town council acting in a quasi-banking capacity — had no printing infrastructure of its own; these small municipal issues were typically contracted to regional commercial printers, often with limited security features.
Bad Hersfeld, as it became in 1933, was a minor Hessian spa town with no particular monetary significance. The note exists because the system around it failed, not because of anything the town did.
