| Comments |
Camburg an der Saale is a small Thuringian town, and the Camburger Tageblatt was its local newspaper — making this one of the more unusual issuing entities in German Notgeld. Robert Peitz, as publisher, effectively backed the note with the paper's commercial reputation rather than any municipal or banking authority. Emergency small-change scrip issued by a private press operation was legally permissible under the chaotic conditions of 1918–1921, but it was far from common.
Louis Koch of Halberstadt was a regional printer who handled a number of Notgeld commissions during this period.
