I have a couple of german notgeld not yet listed, from the Municipality of Mittelwalde. As the Municipality is not included in the list of German Municipalities, I cannot add the notgeld to the catalogue.
According to my review, the Municipality of Mittelwalde corresponds to the Prussian Province of Lower Silesia.
I would appreciate the administrators adding the Municipality to the Province, to be able to catalog the notgeld.
I only want to say which one it is not where to put it, there are also some MIttenwalde etc. which aren't it.
At the end you search for what is written on the note anyway no further geographical knowledge needed.
In fact, it is a good chaos. Unfortunately the notgeld has no more written data.
In the German wiki entry there is a more detailed reference to the period I think it corresponds to:
"With the introduction of the Prussian town ordinance of 1809, Mittelwalde became an independent municipality, after 1807 the subjection to the estate had been abolished. After the reorganization of Prussia, it belonged to the province of Silesia from 1815 and was incorporated into the district of Habelschwerdt from 1818 to 1945, with which it was connected until 1945. The property remained in the possession of the von Althann family until it was expropriated in 1945.
Towards the end of the Second World War, Mittelwalde was occupied by the Red Army in the spring of 1945 and after the end of the war, like almost all of Silesia, was placed under Polish administration by the Soviet Union. The German town has now been renamed Międzylesie. The immigration of Polish migrants then began, some of whom came from areas east of the Curzon Line that had fallen to the Soviet Union, where they had belonged to the Polish minority. In the aftermath, the local German population was expelled by the local Polish administrative authority."
I think that the best thing would be to include Mitelwalde as a German municipality, and if at any time another precedent arises, think about repositioning it

Why would it be in Poland, it was a part of the German Empire in the Weimar Republic era?
Like I already said I only mentioned that it is today in Poland for the right location ... it was in the Province of Lower Silesia to be specific.

I just misunderstood your first message, sorry, I'm very happy it's still under Germany.
