Notgeld Mülheim an der Ruhr 1923
This page contains emergency money (Notgeld) that were issued by the municipalities of Mülheim an der Ruhr
(Mülheim upon Ruhr). The city is located in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany at the river Ruhr
between Duisburg and Essen
and 20 km to the north-east of Düsseldorf. Mülheim's
population is about 171,000.
History and Economy of Mülheim
First fortifications and a cloister at the place of Mülheim were mentioned as early as 883. The river Ruhr was
used as a traffic route during the middle ages. For centuries the Ruhr was also a vital economic artery: On
the banks and in the valleys of the streams were the mills which gave the town its name. The leather and
textile industry used water from the Ruhr. Once cargo shipping really got going after locks were built,
the Ruhr was the busiest river in Europe.
For a century Mülheim was the centre of shipping on the Ruhr
and the coal trade, and international companies were founded here. The rail link and the subsequent decline
of coal shipping brought the first structural change: the mining, iron and metal processing industries
grew in importance - an importance which continued up to the mid 1960s, when the pits were closed and the
blast furnaces shut down.
