Plattling is a small Bavarian market town on the Isar, and its municipal magistrate — like hundreds of similar local authorities across wartime Germany — resorted to issuing emergency paper Kleingeld in 1917 when coin metal was being commandeered for the war effort. These Notgeld issues were technically provisional, intended to circulate only within the issuing locality until the metal shortage eased. It never meaningfully did.
Bavaria produced an enormous volume of such municipal scrip in 1917–18, much of it on low-grade wartime paper that has not aged well. Plattling's issue is among the more obscure small-town examples from the period.
