| Opmerkingen |
Deutsche Reichsbahn's Erfurt directorate issued emergency Notgeld during the hyperinflation peak of 1923, when the Reichsmark was collapsing fast enough that state enterprises couldn't wait for central bank currency to arrive. Railway directorates across Germany were authorized to issue their own notes to pay wages and cover operational costs — this was a payroll instrument as much as a circulating note.
A. Stenger was a local Erfurt printer with no particular prestige in currency production. The five-million-mark denomination, enormous by any earlier standard, was already being overtaken by inflation within weeks of printing.
