Tiefurt is a village immediately east of Weimar — formally incorporated into the city decades later — and its claim to notgeld in 1921 rests almost entirely on its association with the Duchess Anna Amalia and the park along the Ilm that Goethe frequented. The municipality was tiny, and the issue was almost certainly produced for collector sale rather than genuine commercial necessity, a pattern that dominated Thuringian notgeld by mid-1921.
Wiedemannsche Druckerei AG in Saalfeld handled a significant volume of regional notgeld during this period. Designer M. W. Schulz is credited on the note itself — unusual enough to be worth flagging, as many small-run municipal issues went unsigned.
