Kalksandstein-Werke Milbertshofen was a lime-sand brick manufacturer operating on the northern outskirts of Munich — the kind of industrial concern that, during the Notgeld period of 1918–1923, routinely issued its own small-denomination scrip to pay workers when official coinage had effectively vanished from circulation. These factory-issued pieces were functional wage tokens, not commemorative issues, and they rarely survived in any quantity; workers spent them immediately at company stores or local vendors who agreed to honor them.
The firm itself was absorbed into Munich's expanding industrial fabric long before the Second World War, leaving almost no archival trail.
