Rheinsberg's 1922 notgeld issue came out of the same municipal desperation driving hundreds of small German towns to print their own emergency fractions during the early Weimar inflation spiral. The printer, Dehmigke & Riemschneider, was a local Neuruppin firm that handled a significant volume of Brandenburg-region notgeld during this period — their output tends to be competently produced but rarely refined.
The single signatory, Poppe, almost certainly represented the municipal treasurer or burgomaster's office, signing by surname alone per common notgeld administrative practice. Rheinsberg itself had a modest economic footprint, and this denomination would have covered everyday small transactions that silver coinage had effectively abandoned.
