Schierke is a small resort village in the Harz Mountains, and its decision to issue emergency currency in 1921 was entirely typical of the Kleingeldnot — the small-change shortage — that pushed thousands of German municipalities into printing their own Notgeld during the inflationary spiral following the First World War. Louis Koch of Halberstadt was a regional printer who produced Notgeld for numerous Harz-area communities during this period; his output was competent rather than distinguished.
Schierke's issues are collected primarily as Serienscheine — decorative sets issued as much for philatelic sale to tourists as for actual monetary use, a practice that became widespread enough by 1921 that the notes' real circulation was often negligible.
