| Opmerkingen |
Buxtehude's 1920 Notgeld issue belongs to the vast wave of municipal emergency currency that flooded Germany following the post-WWI coin shortage — by 1920, hundreds of small towns were commissioning local scrip simply to make change. Gebrüder Jänecke in Hannover was a well-established printing house with deep roots in commercial lithography, and their work on small municipal issues like this one was essentially bread-and-butter volume work during the Notgeld boom years.
Buxtehude, a small Hanseatic town west of Hamburg, leaned heavily into its medieval identity in its Notgeld series — a marketing instinct that was, by 1920, already calculated. Collectors were actively pursuing decorative issues, and town councils knew it.
