| Comments |
Buchau am Federsee was a small Swabian town with an outsized role in German notgeld production. Trikotfabriken Hermann Moos — a knitwear manufacturer — issued this note during the hyperinflation peak of 1923, when private firms, municipalities, and cooperatives across Germany were printing emergency money simply to meet weekly payrolls. The Reichsbank could not keep pace with wage demands denominated in figures that had been unimaginable eighteen months earlier.
Vereinigte Buchdruckereien Buchau-Nebusenried-Aulendorf was a regional print consortium serving the area — a purely local production chain, from issuer to press.
