Karlshafen — officially Bad Karlshafen since 1977 — was a planned Huguenot settlement founded in 1699 by Landgrave Karl of Hesse-Kassel, who intended it as the terminus of a canal linking the Weser to the Rhine. The canal was never finished. The town remained small, which makes its issuance of Notgeld entirely typical of the inflationary chaos that swept German municipalities after 1918, when the central money supply simply failed to cover everyday transactions at the local level.
Gebrüder Gotthelft in Cassel handled a significant volume of Hessian municipal Notgeld work during this period — a regional printer filling a regional vacuum.
