Lechfeld was a military airfield and training camp in Bavaria, repurposed early in the war to hold prisoners. Camp scrip of this type was issued to prevent PoWs from accumulating Reichsmarks that could fund escape attempts — a deliberate policy applied across German internment facilities from 1914 onward. The currency was valid only within the wire.
J. P. Himmer of Augsburg, a well-established regional printer with roots in the mid-nineteenth century, handled several such camp issues for Bavarian facilities. The pink paper stock was not decorative — color differentiation between denominations was a basic anti-counterfeiting and sorting measure in a system with no other security features.
