Back to the Notgeld.
This week I bring 4 specimens of Notgeld from Rothenburg. Rothenburg is the home the Schäfertanz Museum (Shepherd's Dance Museum). You will notice that the obverse of each specimen depicts a shepherd tending his flock with Rothenburg in the background. Also, take note that the obverse of each specimen has the signature of Herr Bürgermeister Lindermann.

All 4 pieces are of the 75 Pfennig denomination.
The reverse of the above specimen depicts a shepherd and shepherdess.
The above specimen depicts the Head Shepherd in his ceremonial garb on the reverse.
Both specimens, above and below, depict scenes from the Shepherd's Dance (Schäfertanz).
You may remember seeing Rothenburg in the cinema recently. It was used in portions of the film, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Rothenburg was also the inspiration for the village in the 1940 Walt Disney movie Pinocchio.
