Brunshaupten was a small Baltic seaside resort on the Mecklenburg coast — the kind of town whose entire economic life compressed into a summer season. The Sparkasse issued this Notgeld almost certainly to address the acute small-denomination coin shortage that plagued German resort communities after 1914, where seasonal tourist traffic made the problem worse than in most inland towns.
Carl Flemming & T. C. Wiskott in Glogau printed an enormous volume of German municipal emergency currency during this period, and their production quality was generally higher than the lithographic work coming out of smaller regional shops.
