The Deutscher Reichskriegerbund Kyffhäuser was a veterans' organization founded in 1900 to unite Germany's regimental associations under one nationalist umbrella — by the Weimar years it had millions of members and considerable political weight. This 50 Pfennig note belongs to the vast category of Notgeld issued during the hyperinflationary spiral of the early 1920s, when municipalities, businesses, and private organizations alike printed their own emergency small change to compensate for the near-total disappearance of coin from circulation.
That a paramilitary veterans' league was issuing its own currency says something pointed about how thoroughly state monetary infrastructure had broken down by 1921.
