| Comments |
Schobüll is a coastal village in Schleswig-Holstein with a population that has rarely exceeded a few hundred — making this among the more obscure municipal issuers of the German Notgeld period. The early 1920s coin shortage pushed even the smallest communities to print their own emergency paper, and Schobüll was no exception, though its output was negligible compared to the industrial towns flooding the market with collector-targeted series.
The single signature, Brandemann, almost certainly represents the Bürgermeister or a designated municipal treasurer. No second countersignature — which was common for notes intended more for local use than speculative hoarding.
