Wiebelskirchen was a small industrial commune in the Saar region, and its 1920 Notgeld issues came directly out of the postwar coin shortage that forced thousands of German municipalities — many far too small to have any business issuing currency — to print their own emergency small change. Gebrüder Parcus in Munich handled an enormous volume of this municipal Notgeld work during 1919–1921, supplying communes across Germany with competently printed but largely interchangeable scrip.
Wiebelskirchen itself was absorbed into the city of Neunkirchen in 1936, which is why the issuing authority no longer exists in any recognizable administrative form.
