The Kyffhäuser series was issued amid the post-WWI inflationary emergency that drove hundreds of German municipalities to print their own Notgeld — local emergency currency that the Reichsbank could no longer supply fast enough. Frankenhausen sits at the foot of the Kyffhäuser ridge, a site carrying deep nationalist freight as the legendary resting place of Friedrich Barbarossa, which explains the series name and the regional pride embedded in the commission.
Garmeyer's Berlin presswork is cleaner than much municipal Notgeld of 1921. The watermarked paper was an unusual investment for a small Thuringian town.
