Opmerkingen

Pößneck was one of dozens of Thuringian municipalities that leaned heavily on Goethe as a unifying cultural shorthand during the notgeld boom of 1921 — partly civic pride, partly a calculated appeal to collectors who were already hoarding the better-designed issues rather than spending them. That secondary market was well understood by town treasurers by this point, and print runs were sized accordingly.

Johannes Arndt in Jena handled much of the small-denomination notgeld work for towns in the region. Designer Kotschau is credited across several notes in this Pößneck series, though biographical detail on him remains thin in the literature.
