Wittenberg's 1922 Notgeld issue belongs to the wave of municipal emergency money that flooded Germany as hyperinflation made official Reichsbank coinage impractical to produce and hoard. Cities, towns, merchants' associations, and even individual businesses were legally permitted to issue their own fractional notes — the resulting explosion of local designs made Notgeld simultaneously a circulating necessity and a deliberate collector's market, with many municipalities printing series in excess of actual monetary need purely for philatelic sale.
The designer credit "Christophe" on the reverse is unusual enough to be worth noting — French-named contributors to German provincial Notgeld are uncommon and may indicate a borrowed or licensed design element rather than a direct commission.
