| Comments |
Dinslaken was a Kreis (rural district) in the Rhine Province, and like hundreds of German municipalities and administrative bodies in the autumn of 1923, its Kreisausschuß — the district executive committee — was forced into currency issuance not by policy but by arithmetic. Reichsbank notes were losing value faster than the postal service could deliver fresh supplies, and district authorities either printed their own Notgeld or watched local commerce collapse entirely. The 100-million-Mark denomination places this squarely in the hyperinflationary peak: by late October 1923, such a sum would barely cover a loaf of bread.
Kreis-level emergency issues from this period are among the least-studied of the Notgeld categories — overshadowed by the more decorative municipal series — and surviving examples often show heavy fold wear from actual use.
