| Comments |
Corbach — the old spelling of Korbach, county seat of Waldeck — produced a substantial run of Notgeld during the hyperinflation emergency, and this piece from the local sports club is among the more unusual issuers in that corpus. Private associations, not just municipalities and savings banks, were permitted to issue small-denomination emergency money during 1921–1923, and Sport-Verein 1909 took that option. Louis Koch of Halberstadt was a minor but documented regional printer who handled Notgeld contracts for several central German clients during this period.
The club's founding year embedded in its name places it squarely in the Wilhelmine associational boom.
