| Opmerkingen |
Steinheid is a small forestry village in the Thuringian highlands, and this 1920 emergency note is about as local as Notgeld gets. Issued during the coin shortage that followed Germany's post-war economic dislocation, municipal authorities across thousands of German-speaking communities printed their own fractional scrip — Steinheid among them, signing off through two local officials rather than any banking institution.
The Eichhorn and Richter signatures point to municipal administrative staff, not financial officers. Redemption was theoretically guaranteed by the issuing community, though for villages this size, that guarantee was largely nominal.
