Issued in 1947, this belongs to the final wave of German municipal emergency money — not the famous Weimar-era Notgeld of the early 1920s, but a postwar necessity driven by the catastrophic currency shortage under Allied occupation. By this point the Reichsmark was functionally worthless for small transactions, and towns like Lindenberg issued scrip on their own authority simply to keep local commerce moving ahead of the 1948 Deutsche Mark reform.
Bosner as designer is otherwise poorly documented in the notgeld literature. The note predates the currency reform by roughly a year, meaning most circulating examples saw hard daily use in that desperate interim period.
