Glatz was one of hundreds of German municipalities that issued Notgeld during the severe coin shortage of 1917–1921, but the Stadt Glatz series is notable for being entirely locally produced — designed, engraved, and printed by L. Schirmer, a printer based in the town itself. That degree of local self-sufficiency was not universal; many comparable municipalities outsourced to Leipzig or Berlin firms.
Glatz was transferred to Poland under the Potsdam Agreement in 1945 and renamed Kłodzko, erasing the German administrative identity that gave these notes their authority.
