| Comments |
Bodenbach and Tetschen were twin towns straddling the Elbe in the Sudetenland, and this note emerged from the chaotic weeks following the collapse of Austria-Hungary in late 1918. Local municipalities across the German-speaking borderlands rushed to issue their own emergency scrip as the new Czechoslovak state asserted monetary control — a process these communities actively resisted, having declared themselves part of the short-lived Province of German Bohemia (Deutschböhmen).
The joint issuing authority — both the municipal government and the autonomous district administration — reflects the layered, contested governance structure of the region at the moment of dissolution. Czechoslovak authorities absorbed Tetschen-Bodenbach by December 1918.
