| Opmerkingen |
Barmen's local administration — like hundreds of German municipalities in late 1923 — was forced to issue its own emergency currency because the Reichsbank simply could not print fast enough to keep pace with hyperinflation. By the time a 100-Million-Mark note left the press at Gebr. Schlesendal, a loaf of bread might already cost more. The printer was a local commercial firm, not a specialist security printer, and it shows: these Notgeld issues relied on an official municipal stamp as the primary anti-counterfeiting measure, which was rudimentary even by the standards of the day.
Barmen itself ceased to exist as an independent city in 1929, absorbed into the newly formed Wuppertal.
