Hammerstein — now Czarne, in present-day Poland — operated as a German prisoner of war camp during the First World War, holding primarily Russian captives. Camp-issued scrip of this kind was a practical administrative measure: it prevented prisoners from accumulating Reichsmark currency that could fund escape attempts or be smuggled out, while still allowing a controlled internal economy for canteen purchases.
Campbell 3076 is one of several denominations in the Hammerstein series, all issued on plain paper with minimal production value — these were functional tokens, not banking instruments. Survival rates for WWI Lagergeld vary enormously; paper scrip from smaller or shorter-lived camps was routinely destroyed at demobilization.
