| Comments |
Lichtenstein-Callnberg is a small Saxon textile town — "Lichtenstein" and "Callnberg" were two separate municipalities that merged in 1901, and by 1922 the combined Stadtrat was issuing its own emergency currency like hundreds of other German local authorities scrambling to fill the void left by the Reichsbank's inability to keep denominations in circulation during the hyperinflationary spiral. The 1,000 Mark face value, enormous by prewar standards, was already losing purchasing power faster than the ink could dry.
Rats-Druckerei R. Dulce in nearby Glauchau was a regional commercial printer, not a security press — the technical limitations of such printers are visible across the Notgeld of this period.
