Stolp — now Słupsk in northwestern Poland — was a mid-sized Pomeranian town caught like most of provincial Germany in the inflationary spiral that made official Reichsbank notes practically useless for small transactions by 1922. The Städtische Sparkasse, the municipal savings bank, issued this Notgeld to fill the gap left by a chronic shortage of small-denomination coinage and low-value currency. Carl Flemming & T. C. Wiskott in Glogau handled enormous volumes of municipal emergency money during this period, supplying dozens of towns across Silesia and Pomerania simultaneously.
Glogau itself is now Głogów, Poland — the printer's address shifting countries without the press moving an inch.
