| Opmerkingen |
Plassenburg, the Renaissance fortress above Kulmbach in Bavaria, served as a commissioned officers' prisoner-of-war camp — a Offiziersgefangenenlager — during the First World War. Under the Hague Conventions, officers could not be compelled to work, so the German military instead administered internal camp scrip to control purchasing power and limit the movement of hard currency. This note, printed by Alexander Wiede of Chemnitz, belongs to that system.
Wiede was a regional commercial printer, not a specialist security firm, and the scrip reflects that — functional rather than elaborate. Its validity was absolute within the wire and worthless beyond it.
