| Opmerkingen |
Bielefeld's linen notgeld is among the more genuinely peculiar episodes in Weimar-era emergency currency. The Stadtsparkasse issued notes printed directly onto white linen cloth rather than paper — a practical response to the catastrophic paper shortages accompanying hyperinflation, but also a deliberate publicity stunt. Bielefeld was a major center of the German linen and textile industry, so the material carried local meaning beyond mere utility.
E. Gundlach's printing on fabric presented real technical difficulties, and registration inconsistencies are common across the series. The 50,000,000 Mark denomination places this note firmly in the late-summer 1923 acceleration phase, when the Reichsmark was losing value faster than notes could be printed and denominations climbed week by week.
