This is a joint issue — both the Stadtgemeinde Görlitz and the Handelskammer für die Preußische Oberlausitz appear as co-signatories, an arrangement that reflects the administrative improvisation typical of German municipal emergency currency in the final year of the war. By 1918, the Reichsbank's capacity to supply small-denomination coinage had effectively collapsed under wartime metal demands, pushing local chambers of commerce and city administrations into co-operative issuing arrangements they had no legal framework designed to handle.
Carl Schleicher & Schüll in Düren were among the more reliable commercial paper manufacturers supplying Notgeld printers during this period. The Düren facility had long specialized in technical and security papers before the Notgeld boom gave them an unusual volume of municipal work.
