Grünberg — now Zielona Góra in western Poland — was a mid-sized Silesian wine-producing town that issued this note as part of the broader Notgeld wave that swept German municipalities from 1914 onward, when Imperial authorities hoarded metal coinage and left local governments to improvise. Johannes Arndt in Jena was a workhorse provincial printer responsible for a significant volume of municipal emergency currency across Thuringia and Silesia, with no particular artistic distinction to the work.
The DeNG reference suffix variants .3-4/6 indicate multiple serial or date sub-types within the same base design — a common complication for collectors working this issuer.
