Hofgeismar is a small town in northern Hesse, and its Kreissparkasse — a district savings bank — was among the hundreds of German local institutions that issued Kleingeldersatz notes during the acute coin shortages of 1917–1921. These municipal and savings bank issues were stopgap instruments, never intended for wide circulation beyond the issuing district. Gebrüder Gotthelft of Kassel handled a substantial volume of regional Notgeld printing during this period, supplying everything from county councils to individual businesses across Hesse-Nassau.
The spelling "Cassel" on the printer's imprint reflects the pre-1926 orthography, before the city officially adopted "Kassel."
