1921 BERLIN NOTGELD German Banknote 5) Friedrichshain - Ferry boats in 1825.
Notgeld is the German word for "emergency money". Although not a German invention the word is now well known and used due to the large amount of this money being issued in Germany in the early 20th century. Notgeld existed well before paper money was introduced. It was mainly used during the times of war and crisis. When a town was besieged it was cut of the money supply and frequently invented some money to be used inside the town walls. In Germany Notgeld was used for instance in the towns of Mansfeld in Thuringia (1622), Kolberg (1807) - besieged by the French Napoleonic army - and Erfurt (1813) – in French occupation besieged by the Prussian army.
