| Opmerkingen |
The Deutsche Reichsbahn issued its own emergency currency during the hyperinflation peak of late 1923 because the Reichsbank simply could not print fast enough to meet wage obligations. Railway workers — numbering in the hundreds of thousands — had to be paid, and paid frequently, in denominations that kept pace with a currency losing value by the hour. The Reichsbahn's notes circulated alongside Reichsbank issues and a flood of other Notgeld from municipal and industrial issuers, all legally tolerated under the circumstances.
Rudolf Oeser was president of the Reichsbahn at the time of issue, a position he had held since the railway's reorganization in 1920.
