| Reverse lettering | Das Rattenfängerlied 25 Wandern, ach wandern durch Berg und Tal, Wandern, ach wandern allüberall! Weiter nur eilen durchs ganze Land, Nit lang verweilen von niemand gekannt. Nicht Heimat, nicht Liebe ward mir zuteil, Nur immer wandern, rastlos in Eil'. Ich kenne nicht Sorgen, kenn' Spiel nur und Sang, Süßen am Morgen währen nicht lang' Ein fahrender Sänger, von niemand gekannt, Rattenfänger, das ist mein Stand! Der Kinderauszug anno 1284 zu Hameln |

German Notgeld issued by private commercial establishments — cafés, restaurants, inns — occupies a specific and often overlooked corner of the emergency currency field. The Münster-Cafe-Diele in Hameln issued this 25 Pfennig note during the acute small-change shortages of the early Weimar inflation period, when municipal and commercial issuers flooded circulation with locally redeemable scrip simply because metallic coinage had effectively vanished from everyday trade.
K. Schatzler's design credit is uncommon for commercial Notgeld of this type — most café-issued pieces were anonymous print-shop productions. The DeNG reference 565.1 places this within a documented series of three varieties.
