Orlamünde is a small town on the Saale in Thuringia, historically notable mostly for the medieval counts who gave rise to the Hohenzollern line — not for its financial institutions. By 1917, Germany's small-denomination metal coinage had been hoarded or melted, and thousands of municipalities were forced to print their own emergency fractional notes. This is one of them: a Notgeld issue, filling the gap left by vanished Pfennig coins in the third year of the war.
Schneider & Co. in Altenburg handled enormous volumes of such municipal commissions across Thuringia, which makes the printing quality predictably competent but not distinctive.
