Barmen was an industrial city in the Wupper Valley — today absorbed into Wuppertal — and like hundreds of German municipalities in 1923, it was forced to issue its own emergency currency as the Reichsbank's printing capacity buckled under hyperinflation. The Stadt Barmen notgeld series reached denominations that would have been unimaginable eighteen months earlier. Five million marks, once a sum of extraordinary magnitude, was by mid-1923 barely sufficient for basic daily transactions.
August Schmidtmann was a local Barmen printer, not a specialist banknote house. That matters: the production quality of municipal issues from such printers varies considerably within the same series, with uneven ink distribution and inconsistent sheet registration appearing frequently.
