10 Pfennig Leuchtenburg-Wirtschaft

Georg Okage's Leuchtenburg-Wirtschaft was a restaurant and guest establishment operating at or near the Leuchtenburg castle above Kahla — one of countless small Thuringian businesses that issued their own emergency scrip during the Kleingeldnot of the early 1920s. The Himmer press in Augsburg was a prolific supplier of notgeld to issuers across southern and central Germany, producing runs for many local businesses simultaneously, which kept unit costs low enough for venues that could never have justified bespoke printing.

Kahla-area notgeld is not heavily documented, and Okage's issue in particular remains sparsely catalogued. The commercial rather than municipal origin distinguishes it from the civic series collectors more typically encounter.
