Weddersleben is a village in the Harz foothills — small enough that its 1921 notgeld issue exists primarily as a collector's curiosity rather than evidence of serious local monetary need. Like hundreds of similar Gemeinde issues across the Weimar Republic's early inflation years, this note was almost certainly printed in larger quantities than the local economy required, driven by the thriving collector trade in small-denomination notgeld that had developed by 1921.

By that point the Reichsbank had effectively lost control of small-change supply, and municipalities across Prussian Saxony were issuing their own emergency money with varying degrees of actual necessity.
