| Comments |
Satrup is a small agricultural parish in the Angeln region of Schleswig, and this note dates to the hyperinflationary emergency period when hundreds of German municipalities printed their own Notgeld to cover small-denomination shortages that the Reichsbank simply wasn't addressing. Westphalen in Flensburg was a regional printer that handled a number of similar local commissions across Schleswig-Holstein during these years.
The Angeln region had only recently been confirmed as German territory following the 1920 plebiscite, in which Zone I voted to remain with Germany while Zone II returned to Denmark. A municipality like Satrup issuing its own currency just one year later carries a particular weight given that unsettled border history.
