Calau is a small district in Lower Lusatia, and like hundreds of German administrative bodies in 1920, its Kreisausschuß issued emergency fractional currency — Kleingeldersatz — to address the chronic coin shortage that persisted well after the Armistice. These district-level issues were authorised under broad enabling provisions rather than any specific Reichsbank mandate, which is why the typography, format, and artwork vary so dramatically across issuers of the same period.
Johannes Pässler of Dresden-Neustadt was a commercial printer who handled a number of Saxony-region Notgeld contracts. Not a specialist security printer — which shows in the relatively simple anti-counterfeiting measures on most pieces from this shop.
