| Comments |
Engelhardt-Brauerei was one of Berlin's major brewing concerns, and like hundreds of German industrial firms in 1923, it issued its own emergency currency — Notgeld — to pay workers when the Reichsbank could not supply banknotes fast enough to keep pace with hyperinflation. At the peak of the crisis, firms with printing contacts and paper stocks had a practical advantage over those that did not. Flemming & Wiskott, with operations across Glogau, Berlin, and Breslau, were among the more capable commercial printers producing this kind of corporate scrip at volume.
The DeNG reference places this firmly within the documented private industrial issues of the period, distinguishing it from the municipal Notgeld that dominates most collections.
