The Deutscher Schutzbund was a nationalist association active in early Weimar Germany, and its local chapters occasionally issued their own emergency scrip during the hyperinflationary period when municipal and commercial notgeld proliferated across Saxony. The Glauchau-Stollberg working group was one such chapter, and this 1 Mark note was printed locally by Rats-Druckerei R. Dulce — the municipal printing office in Glauchau — which suggests official or semi-official cooperation rather than a purely private run. C. W. Röhle's design credit is unusual for notgeld of this type; most locally printed emergency issues went uncredited.
