Tietze & Seidensticker was a textile manufacturing firm in Penzig, Upper Lusatia — a corner of Silesia where notgeld issuance by private industrial concerns was common practice during the acute coin shortages of 1917–1921. Factory-issued emergency money of this type was functionally tied to the issuing company: redeemable at the works, accepted at local merchants by arrangement, and worthless the moment the firm stopped honoring it. That dependency makes survival rates unpredictable — some issues were redeemed en masse and destroyed, others simply forgotten in desk drawers.
Penzig itself was reassigned to Poland after World War II and is now Pieńsk.
