Treuenbrietzen is a small Brandenburg town that, like hundreds of German municipalities, turned to Notgeld in 1921 as chronic coin shortages persisted well into the postwar period. The printer here, J. Adolf Schwarz of Lindenberg im Allgäu, was a Bavarian specialist who produced Notgeld for numerous small issuers across Germany during this window — the geographical distance between printer and issuing town was entirely unremarkable at the time, with municipal authorities simply contracting whoever could deliver.
Lindenberg im Allgäu, nearly 700 kilometers southwest of Treuenbrietzen, had no formal banking connection to the Brandenburg issuer.
