Neuruppin's Notgeld program of 1921 is notable partly because Dehmigke & Riemschneider, the printer, was a local firm — the city essentially contracted its emergency currency to a press operating within its own limits, an arrangement that was practical during the paper shortage years but unusual enough to be worth noting. Most municipalities of comparable size were farming this work out to Leipzig or Berlin.
The DeNG reference places this within the Brandenburg regional series. Neuruppin itself is better known as the birthplace of Theodor Fontane, though that association did nothing to insulate its residents from the postwar inflation that made Kleingeldersatz necessary in the first place.
