Bochum's 1917 Notgeld issues emerged directly from the Reichsbank's wartime metal requisitions, which drained copper and nickel coinage from circulation so thoroughly that hundreds of German municipalities were forced to print their own small-denomination emergency paper. Bochum, as a major Ruhr industrial center supplying steel and coal to the war effort, was among the earlier cities to issue such notes — necessity, not bureaucratic initiative.
City-printed Notgeld of this period was explicitly temporary and not legal tender beyond the issuing municipality's boundaries, a restriction many local businesses quietly ignored.
