Fallersleben is a small town now absorbed into Wolfsburg, but in 1920 it carried one distinction that made its municipal scrip slightly more than routine Notgeld: it was the birthplace of August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben, who wrote the text of what would eventually become the German national anthem. Whether the Magistrat considered this when commissioning the issue is unrecorded, but the town's identity was inseparable from that association by the Weimar period.

Appelhans in Braunschweig was a prolific regional printer of municipal emergency currency during this period, supplying dozens of Lower Saxon communities during the postwar small-change shortage.
