| Comments |
Verden an der Aller was a small Lower Saxon market town, and like hundreds of similarly sized municipalities it was forced into emergency currency production in 1919 when the postwar coin shortage made small-denomination transactions nearly impossible. The Magistrat — the town's civil administrative body — had no banking infrastructure to manage issuance, so the burden fell on local printers. J.C. König & Ebhardt in Hannover were a reliable commercial house frequently contracted for this kind of civic notgeld work throughout the region.
The DeNG reference places this within a documented series, suggesting the Magistrat issued multiple denominations under coordinated authorization rather than as a one-off stopgap.
