Comments

Rothenburg ob der Tauber issued Notgeld with unusual seriousness about artistic quality, and this 75 Pfennig note is part of a numbered series designed by Ernst Unbehauen, a local artist who produced work specifically tied to the town's medieval identity. The town was already a tourist destination by 1921, and there is reasonable evidence that at least some of these series notes were printed with collectors in mind as much as emergency circulation — a common but rarely admitted practice among the more elaborate Bavarian Notgeld issues.

The DeNG reference places this within a subseries of four notes, suggesting deliberate thematic sequencing across the denominations.
