| Comments |
Stolzenau am Weser was a small rural Landkreis in the Hannover province, and its Kreisausschuß — the district executive committee — issued this 75 Pfennig note as part of Germany's broader Notgeld wave of 1921, when chronic small-change shortages forced local authorities at every administrative level to print their own emergency currency. The Kreis-level issues are often overlooked in favor of the more collectible town series, but they represent the administrative tier that actually bore fiscal responsibility for local services during the inflationary period.
The DeNG reference places this as the fifth in a series of five denominations or types for this issuer, which suggests a coordinated emission rather than a single emergency printing.
