Zobten am Berge — now Sobótka in southwestern Poland — was a small Silesian market town at the foot of the Ślęża massif. This 50 Pfennig note was issued by its local Vorschuß-Verein, a cooperative credit association of the type that spread across German-speaking central Europe following Friedrich Wilhelm Raiffeisen's and Hermann Schulze-Delitzsch's organizing work in the mid-nineteenth century. By 1919, with the Reich deep in postwar monetary chaos and small-denomination coinage effectively vanished from circulation, hundreds of such associations issued their own Notgeld to keep local commerce moving.
Printed by Schenkalowsky in Breslau, roughly 40 kilometers northeast.
