Notgeld Frankenhausen 1923
This page contains Notgeld banknotes that were issued in 1923 by the municipalities of Frankenhausen. Today this town is called Bad Frankenhausen (officially: Bad Frankenhausen/Kyffhäuser), i.e. spa town Frankenhausen. The town is located in the German state of Thuringia on an artificial arm of the river Wipper, a tributary of the river Saale. Frankenhausen has a population of about 8,800 today.
Frankenhausen was first attested as a Frankish settlement in the 9th century. It became a free town in 1282. In 1525, it was the location of one of the last great battles of the German Peasants' War, when the insurgent peasants under Thomas Münzer were defeated by the allied princes of Saxony and Hesse. Between 1599 and 1918 the town was the capital of the principality of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt.
The town houses a famous museum in memory of the battle of 1525, featuring a monumental panorama painting by the German painter Werner Tübke (created 1989). On the Kyffhäuser mountain near the town is the site of the Kyffhäuser Monument, a monumental site of commemoration of German national unity built between 1890 and 1896.
