Previous charity issues gave their surtax to the "Nothilfe" charity. This is the first series for the "Winterhilfe" (Winter Relief) charity, and henceforth all charity issues would be for this fund. The "Nothilfe" primarily rendered help with regard to national disasters, such as floods, fires, etc., and although it gave limited help to the victims of such disasters with food, clothing, etc., its main obligation was clearing and repairing the damage caused. The "Winterhilfe" had for a motto "No one shall go hungry or cold" which more or less explains their function of personal help. Anyone could apply for aid, and according to their needs – food, fuel, clothing, etc., was given and even small amounts of money.
