Ohrdruf sits in the Thuringian district that became, by late 1944, the site of one of the first Nazi concentration camps discovered by American forces — but in 1917 the town was simply a mid-sized municipality scrambling, like hundreds of others, to address the acute small-change shortage caused by wartime metal hoarding. The German Reichsbank could not supply enough low-denomination coinage, so municipal authorities across the country were authorized to print their own emergency notes — Notgeld — to keep local commerce moving.
The Rötter signature likely identifies the Bürgermeister or a senior treasury official countersigning the issue. Ohrdruf's 1917 series predates the more decorative collector-targeted Notgeld that flooded the market after 1920.
