Passau's Stadtmagistrat issued this 10 Mark note as part of the wave of municipal emergency money — Notgeld — that flooded Germany and Austria in 1918 as the imperial coinage system collapsed under wartime metal shortages and hoarding. Municipal authorities, businesses, and even individual firms were effectively left to paper over the liquidity gap themselves. The Stadtmagistrat had no printing authority in any conventional banking sense; the legal basis was improvised necessity.
Passau's position at the confluence of three rivers and on the Austro-Bavarian border gave the local economy its own particular pressures in 1918, with supply chains disrupted and cross-border exchange increasingly chaotic in the armistice period.
