| Comments |
Stotel is a small village in Lower Saxony, and its decision to issue notgeld in 1921 places this squarely in the second wave of German municipal emergency currency — no longer driven by genuine coin shortages as in 1914–1918, but by the inflationary pressures accelerating through the early Weimar years. By this point many municipalities were issuing collectible series deliberately aimed at the hobby market, generating modest revenue through non-redemption.
C. A. Nicolaus of Bremen handled a substantial volume of regional notgeld printing for northwestern German issuers during this period. Stotel's proximity to Bremen made the choice of printer a straightforward logistical one.
