| Comments |
Greiffenberg in Schlesien was a small textile-manufacturing town, and its municipal savings bank — the Stadtsparkasse — issued this 3 Mark note during the acute coin shortage that gripped Germany in the early Weimar inflation period. These Kleingeldersatzmittel were not emergency money in the dramatic sense; they were a mundane administrative fix, authorized locally and redeemed locally, with lifespans measured in months.
Carl Flemming & T. C. Wiskott A.G. in Glogau was a regional workhorse printer for Silesian Notgeld issues, handling a high volume of similar municipal commissions across the province in 1921.
