Ballenstedt is a small town in the Harz foothills, and its magistrate issued this 3 Mark note during the acute small-change shortage that gripped Germany in the early 1920s — a period when hundreds of municipalities printed their own emergency currency simply because Reichsbank coin and low-denomination notes could not keep pace with demand. Louis Koch of Halberstadt was a regional commercial printer who handled Notgeld commissions for several Harz-area municipalities, not a specialist security printer, which makes the inclusion of a watermark here more deliberate than it might first appear.
