Comments

German club notgeld from the inflation period, issued by a sports club in Korbach (the older spelling "Corbach" appears on some local issues) rather than by a municipality or savings bank. Clubs, businesses, and associations issued their own emergency small change throughout 1921–1923 as official coinage vanished from circulation, hoarded against the accelerating depreciation of paper. Louis Koch of Halberstadt was a mid-tier regional printer who supplied notgeld to dozens of such issuers across central Germany during this period.

Club-issued notgeld is among the least documented category of the type — short print runs, narrow local distribution, rarely redeemed through formal banking channels.
