| Comments |
Burg an der Wupper — now absorbed into Solingen — issued this note during the acute small-change shortage that gripped Germany in the early Weimar period, when hoarding of metal coinage had left everyday transactions nearly paralyzed. Municipal and commercial bodies across the country filled the gap with Kleingeldscheine and Notgeld, often with no formal authorization beyond local necessity.
The DeNG reference places this within the thirteenth through sixteenth emission groupings catalogued for the issuer, suggesting a relatively active local printing program for a town of its size.
