Sorau (now Żary in western Poland) issued this Kriegsgeld note in 1918 as small-denomination coinage had effectively disappeared from circulation — hoarded by the public and consumed by the war economy's insatiable demand for copper and nickel. Municipal authorities across Germany were empowered to fill the gap themselves, producing thousands of locally sanctioned Notgeld issues with minimal central oversight.
Carl Flemming & Wiskott in Glogau (Głogów) printed extensively for regional municipalities throughout Silesia during this period. The printer was barely forty kilometers from Sorau itself.
