Lechfeld was a Luftschifferpark — a military airship station — repurposed in 1914 to hold Allied prisoners, one of hundreds of improvised camps that found themselves needing their own internal scrip almost immediately, since Reichsmark coinage was forbidden to inmates. The Himmer press in Augsburg, barely 60 kilometers away, was the obvious contractor; the firm had been producing municipal and commercial print work since 1842 and turned out camp currency for several Bavarian installations during the war years.
Yellow stock was a deliberate choice across many German PoW issues — visually distinct from circulating currency and harder to pass outside the wire.
