Stolp — now Słupsk in northwestern Poland — was a mid-sized Pomeranian town whose municipal savings bank issued this Notgeld during the severe coin shortages that plagued German commerce after the First World War. The Sparkasse issues from Stolp are relatively numerous in the catalog, but the Carl Flemming & Wiskott imprint from Glogau is worth noting: that firm handled a substantial share of provincial Notgeld contracts during this period, producing workmanlike but consistently legible small-denomination notes for dozens of municipalities across Silesia and Pomerania.
W. H. Lippert's design credit appears on several Stolp issues within this run.
