1 Pfennig - Rottweil

Rottweil's 1920 Pfennig notgeld was a direct consequence of the postwar metal shortage that gutted Germany's small-denomination coinage supply. Municipal authorities across Württemberg issued emergency iron pieces independently because the Reichsbank simply could not keep low-value coins in circulation — raw material scarcity and the economic dislocation of 1919–1920 had seen copper and bronze largely diverted or hoarded.

Rottweil, one of the oldest towns in Baden-Württemberg, issued under its own Stadtgemeinde authority rather than through any regional coordination. The Funck reference places this among the more precisely catalogued Württemberg municipal iron issues.
