Schmalkalden carries outsized historical weight for a small Thuringian town — it gave its name to both the Schmalkaldic League of 1531 and Luther's Schmalkald Articles of 1536-37. Whether the district authorities who commissioned this Notgeld were conscious of that irony is another matter; by 1921, German local administrations were issuing emergency currency out of practical necessity, not civic pride, as coin shortages and inflation made small-denomination exchange nearly impossible.
Feodor Wilisch was a local printing firm, and designer Kurt Jäckel's involvement suggests the district paid at least some attention to presentation — Notgeld from this period varied wildly between perfunctory and elaborately artistic.
