| Additional information |
Deggendorf's 1919 iron notgeld was a direct consequence of the postwar metal shortage that left German municipal governments scrambling to keep small transactions functional. The Reichsbank's inability to supply adequate coinage through 1918–1919 pushed hundreds of Bavarian towns to issue their own emergency pieces, most in iron or zinc — materials that no one wanted but everyone had. Deggendorf, a modest market town on the Danube in Lower Bavaria, was among the smaller issuers, which accounts for the relative scarcity of Funck-listed examples today.
