| Comments |
Bergisch Gladbach, a mid-sized industrial town east of Cologne, was among hundreds of German municipalities forced to print their own emergency currency during the hyperinflation of 1923. The Heiss & Co. print shop in Köln-Lindenthal handled notgeld contracts for several Rhineland issuers during this period, which means the design and paper quality here reflect a regional commercial printer working under enormous volume pressure — not a specialist banknote firm.
The 100,000 Mark denomination places this note in the middle inflation window, after the collapse of the early stabilization attempts but before denominations climbed into the billions by autumn 1923.
