| Opmerkingen |
Wiedensahl is the birthplace of Wilhelm Busch, and the village leaned hard into that fact when commissioning its 1921 Notgeld series. The Max and Moritz characters — Busch's mischievous duo, first published in 1865 — were a deliberate piece of local boosterism dressed up as emergency currency. These small-denomination notes were never really about solving a coin shortage; by 1921 the Notgeld phenomenon had become a collector-driven market, and municipalities issued pictorial series specifically to sell to collectors at face value, pocketing the profit.
Wiedensahl was tiny enough that its issues had genuine novelty appeal. Most were bought, never spent, and survive in correspondingly high grades.
