Saarlouis issued this note in 1918 as a Kriegsnotgeld — emergency municipal currency produced because the wartime drain on metal had made small-denomination coinage effectively unavailable in everyday commerce. Thousands of German towns and cities did the same, but Saarlouis had an added layer of uncertainty: the town's political future was already in question well before the Armistice, given its proximity to the Franco-German border and its overwhelmingly French-built history as a Vauban fortress town ceded to Prussia in 1815.
After 1919 the Saar territory was placed under League of Nations administration, rendering locally issued German municipal paper immediately obsolete.
