Gutehoffnungshütte — the "Good Hope Ironworks" — was one of the largest heavy industrial combines in the Ruhr, encompassing coal mines, iron foundries, and machine works at Oberhausen. During the hyperinflation crisis of 1923, the Reichsbank simply could not supply enough physical currency to meet payroll demands at major industrial employers, so companies like GHH were legally authorized to issue their own emergency notes — Notgeld — to pay workers directly on wage day.
These industrial Notgeld issues were often redeemable only at company-affiliated banks or company stores, which suited management as much as it solved the liquidity problem.
