| Opmerkingen |
Cellelager was one of several dedicated officer prisoner-of-war camps established by Germany during the First World War, and like most of them it issued its own internal scrip to manage the camp economy and prevent hard currency from circulating among captives. The Himmer press in Augsburg, a long-established commercial printer, handled a number of these commissions — the printing work itself is functional rather than elaborate, with no pretense of banking formality.
At fifty Mark, this is among the higher denominations in the Cellelager series, which points toward officer-grade purchasing power within the canteen system. Repatriation in 1918–1919 rendered virtually all camp issues worthless and most were discarded or destroyed on the spot.
