Eckartsberga is a small town in Saxony-Anhalt, and like hundreds of similarly sized German municipalities in 1921, it issued its own Kleingeldersatz — small-change substitutes — to address the acute coin shortage that followed the First World War. The Reichsbank could not produce enough low-denomination coinage to meet everyday commercial demand, and local governments stepped in with their own printed scrip, authorized under emergency provisions.
Reineck & Klein in Weimar handled a substantial volume of this municipal Notgeld work across Thuringia and neighboring regions, which means surviving examples are identifiable by consistent typography and presswork across many different issuing towns.
