| Comments |
Lübz is a small town in Mecklenburg, and its 1922 notgeld issue belongs to the vast second wave of German municipal emergency money — not the artistic collector-oriented "serienscheine" of 1921, but the genuinely functional small-denomination scrip issued because Reichsbank coin had all but vanished from everyday transactions. The Rat der Stadt Lübz was legally empowered under Weimar emergency provisions to authorize such issues, and countless similar councils did exactly the same that year.
Richard Zschiked is not a name that appears in the standard literature on notgeld designers — it's possible the name on this piece is a local commercial artist or a misreading of the credit line.
