Soest's municipal savings bank joined the wave of German municipal emergency currency in 1919, when the postwar coin shortage left local governments printing their own fractional notes to keep small transactions moving. Edler & Krische of Hanover supplied a significant portion of the Westphalian notgeld market during this period, handling print runs for numerous small issuers simultaneously — which means this note shares more than its format with dozens of neighboring issues.
Soest itself had a long tradition of civic independence dating to its Hanseatic period, though by 1919 that history was irrelevant to the immediate problem of making change.
