The Bayerische Notenbank was established in 1875 as one of the privileged note-issuing banks permitted to continue operating under the newly unified German Reich — Bavaria had negotiated a specific exemption from the Reichsbank monopoly, a concession extracted during the political compromises that accompanied unification in 1871. This 100 Mark note dates from the bank's founding year, making it among the earliest issues of the institution.
Giesecke & Devrient, already well-established in Leipzig by this date, produced the bulk of Bavaria's note output throughout the Notenbank's existence. The Bayerische Notenbank retained its right of issue until 1935, when the Nazi government finally dissolved the remaining German state banks of issue.
