Once again we can present one of these important regional works of committed emergency money collectors who wrote a special catalog for their collecting area and published it on their own. Commercial success, for example with the author of this catalog, usually does not play a role. Rather, it is about the most complete documentation possible of all paper money issues and their variants from a certain region and thus the culmination of a collector's life. The author succeeded in doing this in a particularly exemplary manner with this catalog for Rheinhessen, which was separated from Hesse by the French occupation as far as the Rhine after the Second World War and is now part of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate. Not only the detailed cataloging of variants, samples etc. should be emphasized,

In addition to the emergency money of the 20th century, you can of course also find the French siege money for the Mainz fortress from 1793 and the expenses of the Franco-Belgian railway administration for the occupied Rhineland from 1923 in the catalog.

It is to be hoped that there would soon be a similar catalog for all of Hesse. Catalogs, as we know, enliven collecting itself. Unfortunately, where there is no literature, little is collected because there is no guide.

Hugo Schneider has succeeded in creating such a guide with his book, which only appeared in a very small edition. It is nice that he was supported by other collectors, which unfortunately is not always a given.
