Pasing was an independent Bavarian city until 1938, when it was absorbed into Munich. This note is a product of the Kleingeldersatz crisis of the early Weimar years — chronic coin shortages, partly caused by metal hoarding and partly by hyperinflation eroding the value of small denominations before replacements could be minted, forced hundreds of German municipalities to print their own fractional emergency paper. A 1 Pfennig note is about as low as municipal notgeld gets.
The DeNG 5/6 series for Pasing is small and locally printed, with limited surviving quantities — town-level notgeld at this denomination was rarely saved by contemporary collectors who considered it beneath serious notice.
