The Schlesische Lutherfestspiele — the Silesian Luther Festival Plays — were a large-scale open-air theatrical event staged in Breslau in 1921 to mark the 400th anniversary of Luther's appearance before the Diet of Worms. The issuing body, an evangelical church working committee, produced this Notgeld not as emergency currency in any strict monetary sense but as a commemorative souvenir issue, almost certainly sold to attendees as a keepsake alongside the festival program.
Grass, Barth & Comp., operating under the W. Friedrich imprint, was a well-established Breslau printing house with a long record of high-quality commercial and ecclesiastical work in the city.
