"this Stadt Neustadt located on the River Orla, about 260 miles

North East of Landau in Palatine."

to find it easier today - I'd rather position it  appr. 40 miles south of Jena (Carl Zeiss) or 100 miles west of Dresden.

the reason many cities issued Gutscheine was to keep the theoretical values in their vicinity because they were not changable to real money.

Yes, that is probably a good idea. However, el Heron has NO anchesters that lived East of Landau or North of Landau in the Palatine.  So, el Heron being more familiar with Landau in the Palatine, uses that as a 'measurement' or locator of sorts.
