| Comments |
The Liga zum Schutze der Deutschen Kultur — League for the Protection of German Culture — was one of several nationalist cultural associations that emerged in the turbulent early Weimar years, producing their own notgeld as both a fundraising mechanism and a statement of political identity. Sachsen was a particular hotbed of this activity in 1921, with regional groups issuing scrip that circulated locally while the national currency hemorrhaged purchasing power.
Ratsdruckerei R. Dulce in Glauchau was a municipal print operation, an unusual choice for a private association's emergency currency. Designer M. Eschle is otherwise obscure in the notgeld record.
