Bethel is not a municipality but a Protestant charitable institution — a self-contained settlement near Bielefeld founded in 1867 for people with epilepsy and later expanded to serve those with a range of disabilities and psychiatric conditions. During the acute Kleingeldmangel of 1919, Bethel's internal administration issued its own scrip rather than wait on a German banking system that was already buckling. The notes circulated exclusively within the Bethel community, functioning as a closed-loop internal currency for residents and staff.
That issuing authority — the Hauptkassenverwaltung, the central treasury office of the institution — is the detail worth noting. This is not municipal Notgeld in any conventional sense.
