Görlitz issued this 10 Pfennig note in 1919 as part of the vast wave of municipal Kleingeldscheine that flooded Germany during the postwar coin shortage. The German Imperial mint had been unable to keep small-denomination coinage in circulation — wartime metal requisitions and hoarding had stripped it out almost entirely — leaving cities and towns to fill the gap themselves. Carl Schleicher & Schüll in Düren were among the busiest commercial printers servicing these municipal contracts, producing emergency notes for dozens of municipalities simultaneously.
Görlitz, then an industrial and trading center on the Neisse, was issuing these notes while simultaneously navigating the political chaos of the early Weimar transition.
