Haan is a small town in the Bergisches Land, administratively part of what is now the Rheinisch-Bergischer Kreis. Like hundreds of German municipalities in 1923, it was forced into emergency currency issuance — Notgeld — not by any civic ambition but by the practical collapse of the Reichsbank's ability to supply denominations fast enough to keep pace with hyperinflation. The 100,000 Mark figure, which would have seemed extraordinary a year earlier, was already marginal by mid-1923.
Walter Schreiber & Fey printed for numerous Bergisches Land municipalities during this period, operating out of Solingen.
