Bezirksverband notgeld of this kind proliferated across Saxony in 1918 as the imperial coinage system collapsed under wartime metal shortages — local administrative districts (Amtshauptmannschaften) were authorized to fill the small-change vacuum with paper scrip, redeemable only within their jurisdiction. Dresden-Neustadt was the rural district surrounding the city, administratively distinct from Dresden proper.
Krey und Sommerlad in Niedersedlitz, a southeastern Saxon industrial suburb, printed for numerous regional notgeld issuers during this period. Their output was functional rather than decorative — none of the elaborate collector-oriented series that arrived in 1921.
