F. Thörl's Vereinigte Harburger Oelfabriken was one of the largest vegetable oil processors in northern Germany, and like thousands of German industrial firms in 1918, it issued its own Notgeld when the Reichsbank could no longer supply adequate small denomination coinage. The company's emergency scrip was redeemable against wages or purchases within its own operational sphere — a common arrangement that kept factory floors functioning when the broader monetary system was fracturing under the weight of war finance.
Printed locally by F. C. Bertram of Harburg, this note never circulated far from its origin.
