| Additional information |
The Bremer Lagerhaus-Gesellschaft was a major Bremen port and warehousing company whose private token issues circulated among dockworkers and warehouse staff during the notgeld period — effectively functioning as internal wage scrip redeemable at company facilities. Iron was the practical choice by necessity: wartime and postwar metal restrictions made brass and copper increasingly unavailable to private issuers, and iron tokens from this period corrode aggressively in humid port environments, making clean survivors harder to find than mintage figures alone would suggest.
