Kelheim's five-million Mark note dates from the hyperinflation peak of summer 1923, when German municipal authorities — with no legal mandate to issue currency — did so anyway out of sheer necessity. The Reichsbank simply could not print and distribute notes fast enough to keep pace with the collapse. Hundreds of German towns issued their own Notgeld at inflating denominations, often within days of each other as the exchange rate moved by the hour.
Heinrich Schiele's Regensburg shop produced a large volume of regional emergency currency during this period. E. Reichl's design credit is unusually specific for a piece of municipal desperation printing.
