Roßbach bei Braunsbedra sits in the Merseburg district of Saxony-Anhalt, a region whose economy in 1921 was dominated by lignite mining. The chronic small-change shortage that plagued Weimar Germany in the early 1920s hit industrial communities like this one particularly hard — wages needed to be paid, and there simply weren't enough low-denomination coins in circulation. Municipal Notgeld of this type was the practical answer: a local authority printing its own emergency fractional currency to keep commerce moving.
5 Pfennig pieces were among the smallest denominations produced in the Notgeld wave, and most were redeemed and destroyed within months of issue.
