Auenbüll is a small village in the Schleswig-Holstein borderland — precisely the kind of minor rural municipality that printed its own emergency money during the 1920–1921 notgeld wave, when the Reichsbank's coin supply had collapsed and even one-mark transactions were impossible without locally manufactured substitutes. Hundreds of Gemeinden did the same, but most issued through a district or county intermediary. Auenbüll signed its own paper, which is why Gemeindevorsteher Testorsen's signature appears directly on the note.
The DeNG reference places this in the second variant of the series — small differences in typography or overprint distinguish .1 from .2, though both are scarce given the village's size.
