50 Pfennig Notgeld Note: The Hussites March Toward Naumburg
Naumburg an der Saale, Germany, 1920
Paper emergency money
Issued by the city of Naumburg an der Saale in 1920, this 50 pfennig Notgeld note belongs to a local series illustrating the Hussite legend associated with Naumburg’s Cherry Festival tradition. The illustrated side shows Hussite soldiers marching toward Naumburg, with the caption “Die Hussiten zogen vor Naumburg über Jena her und Camburg” — “The Hussites marched toward Naumburg by way of Jena and Camburg.” The reverse identifies the issuing authority as the City of Naumburg, gives the denomination, and states the note’s limited municipal validity. Designed in silhouette by Walter Hege, the series transformed emergency currency into a sequence of miniature historical scenes, combining postwar small-change currency with civic folklore, regional memory, and local identity.Create Date
