| Beschrijving voorzijde | Red-ground notgeld issued as Brandnotgeld (fire emergency money) by the Stadt Wasungen, with the denomination numeral '50' at upper left and the abbreviation 'Pf.' at upper right, both rendered in bold white Gothic lettering against the red field. A central octagonal vignette presents a colour lithograph of Burg Maienlust, the hilltop castle above Wasungen, surrounded by wooded slopes and rural outbuildings beneath a clouded sky, captioned 'Burg Maienlust' above the image. Validity text flanks the vignette on both sides, the issue date 'den 1. Okt. 1921' appears at lower right, and two manuscript signatures — one for the Bürgermeister and one for the Gemeinderatsvorsitzende — appear below a printed serial number, with the printer's imprint 'Franz Scheiner, Würzburg' at the lower right margin. |

Wasungen, a small Thuringian town with a population well under two thousand at the time, issued this note during the acute coin shortage of 1921 — part of the vast flood of municipal Kleingeldersatz that briefly made every German town its own monetary authority. The Fire Series (Brandserie) was a common notgeld thematic choice, often tied to local historical memory; Wasungen itself had suffered significant fire damage in earlier centuries, giving the theme at least some local grounding rather than pure decoration.
Franz Scheiner in Würzburg printed a considerable volume of Thuringian notgeld during this period, producing short runs for small municipalities that could never have sustained a long print relationship with the major security printers.
