Patschkau — now Paczków, Poland — was a small Silesian market town that, like hundreds of German municipalities in 1918, issued its own emergency paper money when the imperial coinage supply collapsed under wartime metal requisitioning. These Notgeld issues were a local administrative response, not a banking function; the Stadtgemeinde itself underwrote the notes and was responsible for redemption.
Silesian town Notgeld from this period survives in quantity, having been widely collected even at the time of issue.
