Mühldorf am Inn was one of hundreds of German municipalities that resorted to printing their own emergency fractional currency — Kleingeldscheine — as the Reichsbank struggled to keep low-denomination coinage in circulation during the postwar inflation spiral. This 30 Pfennig piece was produced entirely locally: D. Geiger was a Mühldorf printing house, not a specialist banknote firm, which is exactly the kind of arrangement these town councils were forced into.
Karl Wenning's involvement as designer gives the note more intentionality than most municipal issues of this type, where design was often an afterthought. Notgeld from smaller Bavarian towns printed in-house by commercial job printers tends to show wear at the folds quickly — the paper stock was rarely archival quality.
