| Comments |
The Kreis-Handwerkerbund Stolzenau a/W. was a district-level artisans' association — the kind of small-town trades guild body that proliferated as emergency money issuers during the inflation years when Reichsbank notes vanished from local circulation. Stolzenau an der Weser is a small market town in Lower Saxony, and Notgeld from this level of issuer — not a municipality, not a bank, but a craftsmen's cooperative — is relatively uncommon. Most guild-issued Notgeld was produced in short runs and circulated only within a tight local radius.
