| Additional information |
Höhr, along with the neighboring towns of Grenzhausen and Grenzau, sat at the center of Germany's Westerwald ceramic industry — the same region responsible for centuries of stoneware exports across Europe. When the post-WWI coin metal shortage forced municipalities to issue notgeld in unconventional materials, Höhr was one of the few places with both the industrial infrastructure and the local political will to produce porcelain coinage at scale. The black bisque variety is less frequently encountered than the glazed white issues from the same municipality.
