The XVIII. Armee-Korps was headquartered in Frankfurt am Main, and its prisoner-of-war camps — holding Allied prisoners across the corps district — required a controlled internal currency to prevent real German marks from circulating among inmates or being smuggled out. These camp notes were not legal tender and had no value outside the wire.
The 1917 date places this squarely in the period of Germany's most acute wartime labour shortage, when PoW labour was being systematically redirected into agriculture and war industries. Camp scrip kept those transactions internal and auditable.
Surviving examples are almost always in high grade — heavy circulation within a single enclosed facility was rare, and the notes were typically withdrawn and destroyed at war's end or upon prisoner repatriation.
