Weimar notgeld of this period occupies a specific niche: the city was simultaneously the seat of the new republic's constitutional government and one of the most aggressively marketed notgeld-producing municipalities in Germany. The Goethe and Schiller series was designed explicitly for the collector trade — issued in 1921 well after the acute small-change emergency had passed, printed locally by Dietsch & Brückner who handled much of Weimar's notgeld output.
Dietsch & Brückner were a Weimar-based commercial printer, not a security press, which shows in the relatively modest production values compared to contemporaneous issues from Enschedé or the Reichsdruckerei.
