Naumburg an der Saale was among hundreds of German municipalities forced into emergency currency production during the inflationary spiral of the early 1920s, when the Reichsbank could not keep pace with demand for small-denomination notes. This particular Notgeld series was designed by Heinz Schießl and printed by Gebrüder Parcus in Munich — a pairing that appears repeatedly in Bavarian-produced Notgeld, as Parcus cultivated a stable of regional artists for exactly this kind of municipal contract work.
Schießl was a Munich-based commercial artist whose output leaned toward the decorative woodcut aesthetic popular in German graphic design of the period.
