Boizenburg am Elbe is a small town in Mecklenburg, and like hundreds of German municipalities it issued its own emergency paper during the Kleingeldnot — the small-change shortage — that gripped Germany from around 1916 onward as metal coinage was hoarded or melted. The Rat der Stadt, the town council, had the legal authority to authorize these Notgeld issues locally, bypassing any central banking apparatus entirely.
Low-denomination municipal Notgeld of this type was typically printed in short runs by regional print shops, often on whatever paper stock was available. Survival rates vary considerably by issue.
