Notgeld Rudolstadt — Schiller-Stätten

What was happening
A second note of Rudolstadt's Schiller-Stätten ("Schiller places") series, issued by the Stadtrat on 16 August 1921. It shares the common front with the rest of the set — the Schwarzburg lion and the two bells of Schiller's Lied von der Glocke — and differs only in the scene on the back.
Here the back is captioned Schillers Wohnung 1788: the house where the young Schiller lodged during the summer of 1788 he spent in and around Rudolstadt, the summer he courted Charlotte von Lengefeld and first met Goethe. A woman stands before the house beneath further lines from the Glocke. See also the Markt mit neuem Rathaus variety, [[notgeld-rudolstadt-75-pfennig-rathaus]].
