Carl Flemming was one of Silesia's most established printing houses — founded in Glogau in the nineteenth century and best known for atlases and geographic work before the chaos of 1920s inflation pushed German municipal printers into emergency currency production. The handmade paper specification here is notable: most Notgeld of this period used machine-made stock, and the choice of handmade sheets either reflects a deliberate aesthetic decision or, more likely, a supply constraint during a period when raw materials were genuinely difficult to source.
Glogau lies on the Oder and changed hands repeatedly across the twentieth century — the city that issued this note no longer exists under that name.
