H. Heye's glassworks at Schauenstein was one of several industrial facilities in the Obernkirchen area that turned to privately printed notgeld during the 1922 inflationary spiral, when small-denomination Reichsmark coinage had effectively vanished from everyday commerce. Factory-issued scrip of this kind was a practical payroll and canteen solution — circulated among workers, redeemable internally, and never intended to outlast the immediate shortage. The printer, Wilh. Karl Ilsemann, was a local Obernkirchen firm, making this an entirely self-contained local production.
