Stuttgart's 1921 notgeld series was commissioned during the acute small-change shortage that followed Germany's postwar inflation spiral — municipal authorities across Württemberg were issuing their own fractional notes precisely because Reichsbank coin had effectively vanished from everyday transactions. The city contracted Uhland'sche Buchdruckerei, a Stuttgart-based commercial printer with deep roots in the regional publishing trade, rather than a specialist security printer.
The designer credit to Dölker-Trump places this firmly within the artistic notgeld movement, where municipalities competed — sometimes self-consciously — to produce aesthetically distinguished local issues rather than purely functional scrip.
