Straubing's municipal Notgeld from this period was designed by Edmund Senft and printed by J. Adolf Schwarz in Lindenberg im Allgäu — a small Allgäu printing house that handled a disproportionate share of Bavarian municipal emergency currency during the postwar shortage years. The notes were issued under authority of the city magistrate rather than any banking institution, which was entirely typical of German municipal Notgeld between the armistice and the hyperinflationary collapse of 1923.
Senft's involvement is the detail worth noting. He contributed designs to multiple Bavarian Notgeld issues, and his work for Straubing reflects the brief, peculiar window when small-denomination emergency scrip became a vehicle for local artistic identity — partly practical, partly civic pride. J. Adolf Schwarz printed on relatively thin paper stock, and the Lindenberg issues are known to show toning along folds.
