| Comments |
Schneverdingen's savings bank — a small-town Sparkasse serving the Lüneburger Heide — issued this note during the acute small-change shortage of 1921, when postwar inflation had already driven metal coins from circulation well before the hyperinflationary collapse of 1922–23. Gebrüder Jänecke in Hannover was a prolific regional printer of Notgeld throughout this period, supplying dozens of Lower Saxon municipalities and institutions simultaneously.
The DeNG reference places this as type 1193.2, suggesting at least one variant exists within the Schneverdingen Sparkasse issue — likely a color, paper, or serial number difference rather than a denomination change.
