| Opmerkingen |
Kassel's municipal authority — like hundreds of German cities in 1923 — was forced to issue its own emergency currency as the Reichsbank struggled to print fast enough to keep pace with hyperinflation. The Stadt Cassel notes were locally produced by Wenderoth, a Kassel-based printing firm, which kept turnaround times short during a period when the purchasing power of a denomination could collapse within days of printing.
The 500,000 Mark figure, astronomical by any prior standard, was already approaching irrelevance by late 1923. Notgeld of this era was often spent the same day it was issued.
