| Opmerkingen |
Wittenberg's 1922 Notgeld series leaned hard into its Luther associations — the town had been trading on the Reformation connection since the nineteenth century, and the inflationary crisis gave municipal issuers both the necessity and the creative license to produce collectible small-denomination notes rather than purely functional ones. Many such series were printed in deliberately limited runs, sold directly to collectors, and never meaningfully circulated. Adolf Forker in Leipzig handled a significant volume of Notgeld work during this period, a practical printer rather than a prestige house.
Weissner's design credit is unusual enough to survive in the literature, which is not always the case for Notgeld artists.
