Leobschütz — now Głubczyce in southwestern Poland — was a mid-sized Silesian market town whose municipal government issued this note during the Kleingeldersatz crisis of the early Weimar years, when small-denomination coinage had effectively vanished from circulation. Carl Flemming & G.T. Wiskott A.G. in Glogau was a well-established printer of commercial and cartographic work pressed into notgeld production across Silesia during this period.
The timing matters: 1921 placed this issue squarely within the Upper Silesian plebiscite aftermath, when the region's political future was still formally unresolved.
