| Comments |
Brake is a small port town on the Weser estuary, and its municipal savings bank — the Städtische Sparkasse — was among the hundreds of German local institutions forced into emergency currency production during the hyperinflationary spiral of 1922. Flemming & Wiskott in Glogau were prolific Notgeld printers of the period, handling commissions from municipalities across Germany that lacked any realistic alternative.
Glogau itself is now Głogów in western Poland, the border shift a consequence of 1945.
