Benrath was a small Rhine community absorbed into Düsseldorf in 1929, which makes its independent notgeld issues a narrow historical window. This 100-million Mark note dates to the peak inflationary spiral of autumn 1923, when the Reichsmark was collapsing so rapidly that municipalities across the Rhineland were forced to issue emergency currency just to meet weekly wage demands — the figure on this note, unimaginable months earlier, was routine by October.
Greven & Bechtold in Cologne handled a significant volume of Rhineland notgeld work during this period, printing for multiple municipalities simultaneously. The Bürgermeister signature of o.v. Custodis gives the note its local authority — and its expiry date, given that the Rentenmark stabilization of November 1923 rendered the entire denomination obsolete within weeks of printing.
