Corbach — the older spelling used on many Waldeck district issues before the town formally standardized to "Korbach" — issued this 50 Pfennig note during the acute small-change shortage that gripped Germany in the early Weimar period. Municipal and district authorities across the country filled the gap that Federal coinage could not, producing thousands of distinct Notgeld types between 1919 and 1922. Waldeck-Pyrmont itself was still a nominally independent free state at this point, not yet absorbed into Prussia, which it would be in 1929.
The DeNG suffix "b" on the catalog reference typically denotes a paper variant — worth checking against the "a" type if building a complete run of this issue.
