| Opmerkingen |
Lübeck's municipal treasury — the Stadtkasse, not a bank — issued this note as part of the flood of small-denomination emergency currency that German towns printed after 1918 when metal coinage all but vanished from circulation. Alfred Mahlau, a Lübeck-based graphic artist closely associated with the city's arts and crafts movement, designed several of the city's Notgeld issues; his work for Lübeck is among the more coherent municipal design programs of the period, distinguishing it from the chaotic amateur output of many comparable towns.
Gebrüder Borchers printed locally, which was the norm for Lübeck's issues — no outsourcing to the big Leipzig or Berlin printers.
