Darmstadt's 1919 zinc notgeld issue came out of the acute metal shortages that persisted well after the Armistice, with the German imperial coinage system effectively collapsed and municipal authorities across Hesse scrambling to fill the vacuum with locally sanctioned emergency money. Darmstadt was among dozens of cities that turned to zinc precisely because copper and nickel remained strategically controlled materials in the early Weimar transition period.
