West Germany - Bank Deutscher Länder (1948 - 1957)
In order to overcome the problems induced by the increased money supply of the war years the new Deutsche Mark was introduced in 1948. The short history of this
money was a great success story. It ended on 1. January 2002, when the Euro was introduced to replace the Deutsche Mark in Germany. This page shows the first bills of West Germany issued by the Bank Deutscher Länder.
