Additional information

Grafenwöhr's military training area — still one of the largest in Europe — was already a major Bavarian Army installation by 1914, and the outbreak of war that summer swelled its population of soldiers and support personnel far beyond what the local civilian economy could absorb. These zinc emergency pieces, issued for use within the training ground's internal economy, predate most German wartime notgeld by at least a year. The abbreviation TR. ÜB. PL. references the Truppenübungsplatz, the garrison's formal designation.
