Badetz is a small estate village near Atzendorf in Saxony-Anhalt, and "Domäne Badetz, Schweinezüchterei" — the Badetz Domain pig-breeding operation — is among the more obscure agricultural issuers of the German Notgeld wave that followed the severe small-change shortage of 1917–1918. Municipal and commercial Notgeld issuers proliferated in the thousands during this period, but farm-estate issues are comparatively rare, particularly from specialized livestock operations rather than general agricultural estates.
The DeNG reference places this within the documented series for the domain, suggesting at least seven known variants across the issue.
