Stadtbank Grünberg was a municipal savings institution in the small Silesian town of Grünberg (now Zielona Góra, Poland), and like dozens of similar local banks across Germany, it resorted to issuing low-denomination emergency currency — Notgeld — during the severe coin shortages that plagued the country in the First World War and its immediate aftermath. These municipal issues filled a genuine transactional gap; small change had effectively vanished from circulation as the public hoarded metal.
Flemming & Wiskott in Glogau were among the more prolific regional printers of Silesian Notgeld, producing notes for numerous nearby municipalities. W.H. Lippert's design credit is unusual — named designers on small municipal issues are uncommon enough to suggest this may have been a prestige commission rather than a purely functional print run.
