50 Pfennig Leuchtenburg-Wirtschaft

Leuchtenburg-Wirtschaft was the restaurant and hospitality operation attached to Leuchtenburg castle above Kahla — a private commercial enterprise, not a municipal authority. This note is Notgeld in the strictest sense: issued to address the small-change shortage that plagued German retail and hospitality businesses during the 1920s inflation period, not as a collector series. J. P. Himmer of Augsburg, a printer with deep roots in Bavarian commercial printing, produced the sheet. Georg Thage's signature identifies the responsible signatory at the issuing business.
