Wurzbach is a small town in the Thuringian Forest, and this note belongs to the vast wave of municipal Notgeld that flooded Germany between 1919 and 1922 as small denominations of official coinage effectively vanished from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply insufficient in volume for a collapsing monetary system. Thousands of German municipalities printed their own emergency pfennig notes during this period; Wurzbach was one of hundreds that contracted Gebrüder Parcus of Munich, who became one of the busiest Notgeld printers in southern Germany precisely because they could handle the sheer volume of small municipal commissions efficiently.
By 1921, much of the collector-oriented "Serienscheine" market was already distorting production — notes were being printed for philatelic sale as much as genuine circulation. Whether Wurzbach's issue was driven by real local need or speculative series-collecting is worth considering.
