Description
Rentenmarkreplaced the old
Papiermark
. Because of the economic crisis in Germany after the
First World War
, there was no gold available to back the currency. Luther thus used Helfferich's idea of a currency backed by real goods. The new currency was backed by the land used for agriculture and business. This was
mortgaged
(
Rente
is a technical term for mortgage in German) to the tune of 3.2 billion
Goldmarks
, based on the 1913 wealth charge called
Wehrbeitrag
which had helped fund the German war effort from 1914–1918. Notes worth 3.2 billion Rentenmarks were issued. The Rentenmark was introduced at a rate of one Rentenmark to equal one trillion (10
12
) old marks, with an exchange rate of one
United States dollar
to equal 4.2 Rentenmarks.
