| Opmerkingen |
Schönau im Wiesental was a small textile town in the Black Forest, and like hundreds of German municipalities in autumn 1923, it printed its own emergency currency because the Reichsbank simply could not supply denominations large enough for daily transactions. The 20-billion Mark figure is not an exaggeration for effect — by November 1923, a single loaf of bread in Germany cost several billion Marks.
Alb. Wetzel was a local printer, not a specialist currency house, which is exactly the point: Notgeld at this scale of inflation was produced by whoever had a press and paper.
