Köstritz notgeld from this period belongs to the second wave of municipal emergency currency — issued not during the wartime shortage of 1914–18, but in the inflationary spiral that followed defeat. By 1921, the Reichsbank was losing control of small-denomination coin circulation as hoarding intensified, and thousands of German municipalities printed their own stopgap paper. Köstritz, a small town in Thuringia best known regionally as the birthplace of Heinrich Schütz, was among hundreds of minor communities that contracted local or regional printers to fill the gap.
The series typically used thin, lightly sized paper that aged poorly. Survivors showing clean folds rather than soft creases tend to be from unissued remainder stocks rather than genuine circulation.
