Bolkenhain was a small textile town in Silesia — now Bolków, Poland — and like hundreds of similarly sized German municipalities, its local savings bank issued notgeld during the currency chaos of the early Weimar period. Carl Flemming & Wiskott at Glogau was the dominant regional printer for Silesian emergency money, handling enormous volumes of these small-denomination notes for towns that could not access central bank currency in usable quantities.
The designer credit to Händke is unusual enough to note — most notgeld of this class went unsigned.
