Rheinsberg is a small Brandenburg town best known for the years Frederick the Great spent there as crown prince before his accession in 1740 — a biographical detail that made it a popular subject for Notgeld imagery and gave local authorities something to trade on when emergency small-change issues flooded Germany in the early 1920s. The 1922 inflation-era Notgeld wave was distinct from the 1918–1921 necessity issues; by 1922, many municipalities were producing these notes with one eye on the collector market.
Gehmske & Riemschneider were a regional Neuruppin printer, not a major banknote house, which shows in the modest production quality typical of provincial Notgeld from the Mark's final inflationary spiral.
