Herbert Bayer drafted the banknotes 1923 for the city Weimar and the country Thuringia.

At this time he was a student at the Bauhaus in Weimar, learned in the workshop for wall-painting under the management Wassily Kandinsky. Because of his special talent for typographic designs, the workshop "pressure and advertisement" was set up by him from 1925 on in Dessau.
At his designs, the reversal of the Bauhaus in direction on the solution of applied formation-tasks becomes especially clear.

The bills came in circulation in 1923, during the months August until November, the so-called "hyperinflation". At this time more than 5.800 cities, communities and company printed their own emergency money. Altogether over 700 trillion marks (700.000.000.000.000.000.000 mark) were overexerted as emergency money and approximately 524 trillion mark (524.000.000.000.000.000.000 mark) from the bank.

_{The bills were used and show for their age the typical tracks of the use. In all they are in good condition.}
