Comment

Menzel: BBB

In the years 1914 to 1921, the industrial magnate Wilhelm Leibbrand built up an empire in the canned food industry in the Schorndorf suburb.
At the company's heyday, the W. Leibbrand canning factory was the largest producer in the entire German-speaking region. Almost the entire German Wehrmacht was supplied with so-called "charity packs" from Schorndorf during the First World War.

Interesting fact

The 50 Pfennigs - Schorndorf (W. Leibbrand Konservenfabrik) ND coin from German notgeld (Germany) made of Zinc weighing 3.0 g is a rare and valuable coin among collectors due to its historical significance and limited mintage. It was issued during a time of economic crisis in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s, and was used as a substitute for the official German currency, the Reichsmark. The coin's design features the image of a woman holding a shield with the town's coat of arms, symbolizing the town's independence and resilience during a time of economic hardship.
