Helmarshausen is a small town on the Diemel River in what is now North Rhine-Westphalia, historically significant as the medieval home of the monk Theophilus Presbyter, whose 12th-century technical treatise on crafts and goldsmithing made the scriptorium there briefly famous across Europe. By 1921, the town's magistrat was doing something far more mundane: issuing emergency Kleingeldscheine to compensate for the chronic small-coin shortage that plagued Weimar Germany in the inflation years before the currency collapsed entirely.
Helmarshausen notgeld tends to be overlooked by collectors focused on the more elaborate artistic series from larger municipalities.
