Giengen an der Brenz is a small town in Württemberg — today known primarily as the birthplace of the Steiff teddy bear. In late 1923, as German hyperinflation peaked, even minor municipalities were authorized to issue their own emergency currency, or Notgeld, simply to provide enough circulating medium for daily commerce. The Reichsbank could not print fast enough, and local printers like G. Schmid stepped in to fill the gap.
By November 1923, when the Rentenmark stabilization came into force, 500 billion Marks was worth approximately half a US dollar.
