Zeche Ludwig was a coal mine in Bergerhausen, Essen, and like many Ruhr collieries during the First World War, it operated a prisoner of war labor camp to offset the severe manpower shortages caused by mass conscription. This note — a 1 Pfennig denomination — is camp scrip, issued internally to facilitate small transactions within the compound rather than allowing prisoners access to Reichsmark currency. The practice was widespread across German industrial sites from 1914 onward, sanctioned under military labor regulations.
At this denomination, the note functioned essentially as change token. The extreme scarcity of surviving Zeche Ludwig scrip suggests most was redeemed or destroyed at the camp's closure.
