Comments

The Wandervogel movement — a German youth hiking and nature fellowship predating the First World War — fractured after 1918 into numerous splinter associations, one of which was the Altwandervogel, a grouping of older former members. The Zweibrücken chapter's decision to issue notgeld in 1920 is consistent with the broader German small-change crisis, though a one-pfennig denomination is unusually low even by notgeld standards. Most municipal and club issues of that period began at five pfennig.

The Tieste reference places this firmly in the private/club notgeld category rather than municipal emergency currency.
