| Comments |
Dortmund's municipal administration issued this 1000 Mark note under the emergency currency provisions that proliferated across Germany as hyperinflation began accelerating through 1922. The Magistrat here was acting jointly for both the urban Stadtkreis Dortmund and the surrounding Landkreis Hörde — an administrative pairing that was regularized when the two districts formally merged in 1928.
W. Crüwell was a long-established Dortmund printing house, and local printing was the rule rather than the exception for Notgeld of this class — proximity mattered when currency needed to reach circulation quickly.
