3 Mark Deutsche Kolonialgesellschaft

The Deutsche Kolonialgesellschaft was a private colonial lobby organization, not a state body, which makes this note an unusual artifact — it was issued by the women's auxiliary branch (Frauenbund) of the Unterweserstädte chapter, almost certainly as a fundraising or commemorative issue rather than a circulating necessity note in the conventional sense. By 1922, Germany had formally lost all its colonial territories under the Treaty of Versailles, so this was produced by an organization actively lobbying for their return.

Otto Remmler was a Geestemünde printer with no particular prominence in the emergency money trade. The hyperinflationary wave of 1922–23 created enormous demand for local small-denomination issues, and colonial societies — like many civic groups — issued notgeld to generate both revenue and publicity for their causes.
