Rauschen was a small Baltic resort town on the Samland Peninsula — today Svetlogorsk, in the Kaliningrad exclave of Russia. This note belongs to the vast wave of German municipal emergency money, Notgeld, issued during the hyperinflationary spiral of the early Weimar years. Small resort communities like Rauschen issued their own fractional notes largely because the Reichsbank simply could not supply enough small-denomination currency to meet local demand.
M. Bauchwitz was a Stettin-based printer responsible for a considerable volume of Pomeranian Notgeld output during this period. The designer credit to H. Schubert is relatively uncommon for issues at this level — most municipal Notgeld went out without any named designer at all.
