| Comments |
Bad Segeberg's municipal savings and loan bank was among hundreds of German local institutions that issued Kleingeldersatz — small-change substitutes — during the severe coin shortage that followed the First World War. The Reichsbank's inability to keep low-denomination coinage in circulation forced towns and savings institutions across Germany to print their own fractional notes under emergency provisions, a stopgap that produced thousands of distinct local issues between 1916 and 1922.
Gebrüder Borchers in Lübeck was a regional workhorse printer for Schleswig-Holstein Notgeld, producing competent but unembellished work for numerous nearby municipalities. The DeNG reference splits this issue into two catalogue varieties, suggesting a design or printing variation within the series.
