Stecklenberg is a small village in the Harz district of Saxony-Anhalt, and its 1921 notgeld issue belongs to the massive wave of municipal emergency currency that flooded Germany as the Reichsbank failed to keep small-denomination coinage in circulation. Coins were being hoarded or melted — even modest pfennig pieces had disappeared by the early 1920s — forcing thousands of towns, no matter how minor, to print their own fractional scrip.
Stecklenberg's issue is among the more obscure of the Harz region notgeld, produced in quantities small enough that surviving examples turn up infrequently in specialized German notgeld collections.
