Osterwieck is a small town in the Harz district of Saxony-Anhalt, and like hundreds of German municipalities in 1921, it issued its own emergency paper fractional currency — Kleingeldscheine — to relieve the acute coin shortage that followed postwar remonetization chaos. The Reichsbank simply could not produce enough low-denomination coin to meet everyday transactional demand, and municipalities were legally permitted to fill the gap locally.
A. W. Zickfeldt was Osterwieck's own press, making this a genuinely local production from design through distribution. Signed by Maurich and Schulze, presumably municipal officials, though their exact roles are unrecorded.
