Paper with this watermark was originally produced by the fine paper manufacturer "Felix Schoeller & Bausch" of Neu Kaliss for "Giesecke & Devrient". After the use of the pattern in the production of Reichsbanknoten, it was produced by a large number of other companies and was no longer used by "Giesecke & Devrient".
