| Comments |
Badbergen is a small parish municipality in Lower Saxony, and its decision to issue notgeld in 1921 puts it squarely in the second wave of German emergency money — no longer the wartime shortage scrip of 1914–18, but the inflationary stopgap coinage that flooded small-town Germany before the hyperinflation of 1922–23 made such denominations worthless almost overnight. Paal's Druckerei in nearby Osnabrück handled a considerable volume of regional notgeld output, serving dozens of small issuers across the district who lacked direct access to larger printing houses.
The single Junghanns signature almost certainly represents a municipal treasurer or Bürgermeister signatory rather than a bank official — Gemeinde-level notgeld carried municipal rather than banking authority.
