Remagen's 1918 Kleingeldscheine were emergency municipal scrip issued to address the acute small-denomination coin shortage that gripped Germany as the war economy drained metal from circulation. M. Dumont Schauberg, the Cologne printing and publishing house better known for its newspaper interests, handled a considerable volume of Notgeld commissions during this period — a practical choice for municipalities in the Rhineland looking to avoid the bottleneck at more specialized security printers.

Remagen itself would become far more internationally known in March 1945, when American forces crossed the Rhine at the Ludendorff Bridge — but in 1918 it was simply a small Rhine town scrambling to keep commerce moving in its markets.
