Historical information

The history of banknotes in Bremen reflects the economic and political evolution of this Hanseatic city. From its first issues to the adoption of the euro, Bremen has undergone several changes in its paper money, each representing a unique chapter in its rich history.

Old Bremen banknotes

Bremen' s earliest banknotes date back to the 19th century, when the city issued its own currency, the Bremen Thaler. These banknotes often featured maritime and commercial motifs, reflecting Bremen's importance as a trading port. During the Weimar Republic, Bremen, like other German cities, issued notgeld (emergency money) to cope with hyperinflation.

Current banknotes in circulation

Today, Bremen, as part of Germany and the European Union, uses the euro as its official currency. The euro banknotes in circulation are identical in all eurozone countries, but maintain a symbolic link to Bremen through the letter "X" in their serial number, which stands for the Deutsche Bundesbank, the German central bank. Although Bremen-specific banknotes no longer exist, the city retains its numismatic legacy in museums and private collections.
