Roßla is a small town in the southern Harz region, and like hundreds of German municipalities in 1921, it resorted to issuing its own emergency currency — Notgeld — as the Reichsbank struggled to keep small-denomination coins in circulation during the postwar inflationary spiral. The Ratsdruckerei R. Dulce in Glauchau handled a considerable volume of this municipal work across Saxony, producing notes for local authorities that lacked the connections or budget for larger specialist printers.
Georg Schleinitz, also based in Glauchau, designed the note — a local commission through and through, with no pretension to the elaborate collector-oriented Serienscheine flooding the market at the same moment.
