Greiffenberg in Schlesien — now Gryfów Śląski in Poland — was one of hundreds of German municipalities that resorted to Notgeld during the inflationary spiral of the early Weimar years. The Stadtsparkasse issue was a savings bank note, not a Reichsbank instrument, which meant its validity was strictly local and its redemption entirely dependent on the issuing institution's continued solvency. Carl Flemming & Wiskott in Glogau were prolific regional printers of this material; the watermarked handmade paper stock was a deliberate anti-counterfeiting measure, unusual at the 1 Mark denomination.
