Bezirksamt Laufen was a rural administrative district on the Salzach river in Upper Bavaria, and like hundreds of similar local authorities across Germany and Austria, it turned to whatever printer was at hand when the small-change shortage of the early 1920s made Notgeld production a near-universal necessity. A. Pustet in Tittmoning was primarily a religious and liturgical publisher — their core business was missals and devotional texts, not banknotes. That an ecclesiastical press ended up printing emergency currency for the district administration is a neat illustration of how indiscriminate the Notgeld scramble actually was.
