| Comments |
Paderborn's municipal savings bank — the Stadtsparkasse — was one of hundreds of German local institutions pressed into emergency currency issuance during the Weimar-era small-change crisis. By 1921, coin circulation had collapsed under inflation pressure, and Kleingeldersatz notes like this filled the gap at the street level, not the national one. Gebrüder Parcus in Munich handled enormous volumes of such commissions across Bavaria and beyond; their output was technically competent and consistent, though rarely artistically ambitious.
The DeNG reference places this within a tightly catalogued series, which suggests the Paderborn issue was properly authorized and documented rather than a hasty improvisation.
