Lörrach sits in the extreme southwest corner of Baden, hard against the Swiss border, and by late 1918 the district committee was issuing notgeld not as a novelty but out of genuine necessity — the wartime coinage shortage had stripped small denomination metal from everyday commerce almost entirely. This 5 Mark note sits at the upper end of what district-level bodies were typically authorized to circulate, reflecting how badly the normal monetary supply had broken down in the final weeks of the war.
Baden notgeld from this period was rarely redeemed through official channels after the armistice. Many issues were simply absorbed into the inflationary spiral that followed, never formally cancelled.
