Well, here's a better link (catalogues are incomplete, though):

"Germany" is just pre-1948 and more an excerpt, but here you can see a 100.000.000 Reichsmark banknote from 1923. Everyone was a poor millionaire then.
"Germany - Democratic Republic" is rather exhaustive,
"Germany - Federal Republic" has some of the older "dollar"-style notes, such as the 10 DM note:
