Schwarzenberg's local gift-voucher scheme has recorded 2,364 vouchers loaded and passed on with a combined value of nearly EUR69,000 over 36 months, KabelJournal reported on September 11, citing the local issuer.
The figures describe value put onto vouchers and gifted. They do not establish how much recipients redeemed, the current unused balance or an increase in merchant sales.
Stadtwerke Schwarzenberg GmbH operates the scheme. Its managing director, Sascha Wehrmann, emphasized the range of participating businesses in the report. Recipients can choose where to spend within the local acceptance network rather than being tied to one shop.
The operator's directory, checked on October 18, lists 25 acceptance locations across its shopping, services and hospitality categories. This is later context for the available choice, rather than a reconstruction of the network on September 11. [S03]

The issuer's product documentation confirms variable loading and partial redemption, allowing an unused balance to remain for a later purchase.
The scheme began three years before the report. September's news is its reported operating record, rather than a new launch. The source also says businesses use the vouchers for employee recognition, but provides no separate employer-purchase total.
The results are issuer-attributed figures reported by the regional newsroom; no transaction-level dataset accompanies them.
