Wiesa bei Annaberg was a small officer prisoner-of-war camp in Saxony, and like dozens of similar German installations during the First World War, it issued its own internal scrip rather than allowing hard currency to circulate among the detainees. The legal authority for camp-issued notgeld rested on German military administrative orders that explicitly permitted commandants to run closed monetary systems — partly to prevent hoarding of Reich coinage, partly to limit the economic leverage of prisoners.
Johannes Pässler of Dresden handled a number of these camp issues, which accounts for the relatively clean typographic execution on what were, functionally, throwaway instruments. Very few circulated beyond the wire.
