| Opmerkingen |
Bergedorf was an independent town northeast of Hamburg when it issued this note in 1923, though not for long — it was incorporated into Hamburg just two years later. Like hundreds of German municipalities that year, Bergedorf turned to Notgeld not out of monetary innovation but sheer necessity: Reichsbank notes were being outpaced by inflation so rapidly that local authorities had no practical alternative. Twenty million marks sounds staggering; by late 1923, it barely covered a loaf of bread.
The DeNG reference places this within a well-documented series, but individual denominations from smaller towns like Bergedorf survive in uneven quantities.
