Woldegk is a small market town in Mecklenburg, and this note is a product of the early 1920s Kleingeldersatz crisis — the chronic shortage of low-denomination coinage that forced hundreds of German municipal councils to print their own emergency fractional currency. Der Rat der Stadt Woldegk, the town council, issued this through Hofbuchdrucker Bohls Nachfolger in nearby Neustrelitz, a regional court printer with enough standing to lend the notes a degree of official credibility.
Bohls Nachfolger handled numerous Notgeld commissions across Mecklenburg-Strelitz during this period, which makes distinguishing printing variants across issues from the region a worthwhile exercise for specialists working the Grabowski catalog.
