Comments

Stadt Celle issued this note during the German inflation emergency of 1922, when municipal and commercial bodies across the country were authorized to print their own Notgeld to compensate for chronic coin shortages and the collapsing purchasing power of Reichsbank currency. Eduard Binder was a local Celle printer, meaning the city kept production entirely in-house — no Berlin or Leipzig contractor, just a regional press filling a genuinely local need.

The DeNG reference suffix ".2b" indicates a recognized paper or color variant within the type, which matters for completeness collectors working the Celle municipal series.
