Schöppenstedt is a small town in Lower Saxony, and its municipal Notgeld issues from 1921 fall squarely within the massive wave of German emergency coinage and paper that flooded circulation during the hyperinflationary spiral of the early Weimar Republic. Local magistrates across Germany were effectively forced into the role of currency issuer as metal coins disappeared and the Reichsbank struggled to keep small denominations in circulation. Schöppenstedt's series ran to multiple parts — this being the fifth — suggesting the town printed in batches as demand exhausted earlier stocks.
The town has one genuine claim to wider fame: it was the birthplace of Till Eulenspiegel, the folkloric trickster, a detail the municipality leaned on heavily in its Notgeld imagery across the series.
