Wildemann, a small mining town in the Harz Mountains, hosted one of several German prisoner-of-war camps that issued their own internal scrip during the First World War. These camp currencies were a practical necessity — they prevented prisoners from accumulating Reichsmark that could fund escapes or black market dealings with local civilians.
The yellow cloth composition here is the distinguishing feature of this particular denomination within the Wildemann series. Cloth-based camp scrip is considerably less durable than paper and survives in worse condition generally; the material itself made forgery marginally harder within the camp population.
Campbell 3613 places this squarely in the officer prisoner camp category — Offizier-Gefangenenlager — where Allied officers were held separately under the Geneva Convention's class distinctions.
