Bingerbrück was a small railway junction town on the Rhine, administratively separate from Bingen until their forced merger in 1938. Like hundreds of German municipalities in 1917, the Bürgermeisterei stepped in to produce its own Kleingeld-Ersatz as the imperial war economy drained coins from circulation — silver first, then copper, finally zinc. Small industrial and transit towns like this one often ran chronic small-change shortages simply because of the volume of daily wage and goods transactions at the rail depot.
The DeNG reference places this firmly within the documented Notgeld corpus, though town-level issues of this size and denomination were rarely printed in large runs.
