Ebersberg is a small Bavarian market town southeast of Munich, and this 10 Pfennig note is a product of the acute small-change shortage that gripped Germany from 1916 onward as metal coinage was systematically withdrawn for war production. The Marktmagistrat — the municipal council — issued emergency paper (Notgeld) to keep local commerce moving when pfennig coins simply disappeared from circulation.
J. P. Himmer of Augsburg was a natural choice for Bavarian municipal authorities: the firm had been printing commercial and official material in the region since 1842 and handled Notgeld commissions for numerous Bavarian towns during this period.
