Looking for help identifying German paper money, 1923

I have two Germa nnotes I cannot find in the catalog, identical except for denomination. I don't have a a picture but they are:

Bayerische Braunlohlen Industrie Alteitn Gefellschat
Schwandorf (Oberpfalz)

Date 8 Aug 1923
Denominations 100000 Mark, 500000 Mark.

Anyone know about these?

These are private issues from the Bavarian Brown Coal Company in Schwandorf.

 

Thank you. I thought it must be something like that. It did not look like notgeld and they are very heavily used so that makes sense.

 

Let me just fix your German. That should be "Bayerische Braunkohlen-Industrie Aktien-Gesellschaft", i.e. Bavarian Brown/Soft Coal Industry stock corporation. See here (in German). Brown coal is still mined in some parts of Germany (giant open pit mines) but not in Bavaria any more.

Thanks. Some of those old-style letters are still hard for me to decipher even after I have looked at as many of them as I have.

 

Fraktur changed to Antiqua by der Fuhrer.

 

Sure, but in 1940/41. And that would have what to do with 1923 notgeld?

 

Dats whut!
