Zülz — known in Polish as Biała — sits in the contested territory that was partitioned between Germany and Poland following the March 1921 plebiscite in Upper Silesia. This Notgeld issue appeared during precisely that period of administrative uncertainty, when municipal authorities across the region were printing emergency small change to compensate for the chronic shortage of coins that had plagued German circulation since the war.

Flemming & Wiskott in Glogau were among the more prolific printers of Silesian Notgeld, handling dozens of municipal commissions across the province in 1921. Zülz ultimately fell within the German partition boundary — a fact that gave these notes a brief continued relevance before the broader Notgeld era collapsed with currency stabilization in 1923.
