Nesselwang is a small Bavarian market town in the Allgäu Alps, and like thousands of German municipalities in 1918, it issued its own Notgeld when the wartime metal shortage made small-denomination coinage effectively disappear from circulation. This note is unusual in that the designer, Heinz Schiestl, was a Würzburg-based artist and illustrator with a genuine reputation — his work appeared in Catholic devotional publications and he contributed to early German woodcut revival movements. His involvement in a minor local emergency issue from a printer in Lindenberg is the kind of incongruity that wartime commissions regularly produced.
J. Adolf Schwarz in Lindenberg im Allgäu handled a number of regional Notgeld printings during this period, serving the practical needs of towns that couldn't reach larger commercial printers.
