Großbreitenbach sits in the Ilm-Kreis district of Thuringia, a region so dense with small municipalities issuing Notgeld in 1921 that neighboring towns sometimes used the same local printer. Heyder in Gehren was one of those workhorses — a short-haul operation printing emergency fractional currency for a cluster of nearby communities during the inflationary spiral that followed the war. The designer, Paul Neu of Munich, likely supplied artwork on commission rather than any geographic connection to the issuer.
The signatory name on the note — Carl Günther Tresselt — doubles as the piece's catalog name, which suggests it was a personalized or commemorative Kleinkunst issue rather than purely functional municipal scrip.
