100 000 Mark Weinsberg

Weinsberg is a small town in Württemberg best known, if at all, for the 1140 siege in which Countess Uta allegedly saved the male inhabitants by carrying them out on her back — the "Weibertreu" story. Whether the town treasury intended the irony is unknown, but by 1923 it was the municipal government itself doing the carrying, issuing emergency currency because the Reichsbank's own notes were depreciating faster than they could be printed.

At 100,000 Mark, this note dates from the mid-inflation period before the truly astronomical denominations arrived in autumn 1923. Württemberg municipal notgeld of this class was often printed on watermarked stock sourced from regional paper mills, giving individual issues a paper quality that outlasted their monetary value by about a century.
