Grünberg, known today as Zielona Góra in western Poland, was a significant wine-producing town in Lower Silesia — an unusual distinction for a German region, and the source of considerable local pride. The 1922 Notgeld issues from the city leaned heavily into that identity. This piece was printed locally by Julius Fiedler Nachfolger, one of several regional printers who handled the flood of municipal emergency currency that German towns were compelled to produce as Reichsbank notes became increasingly inadequate during the inflationary spiral of the early 1920s.

The Fiedler firm's involvement kept production costs down and delivery fast — practical priorities when denominations could become economically irrelevant within weeks of printing.
