Seehausen in der Altmark is a small market town in what is now Saxony-Anhalt, and like hundreds of German municipalities in 1917, it issued its own emergency small-change notes — Kleingeldscheine — when coin metal was diverted to the war effort and copper and nickel effectively vanished from circulation. These municipal issues were authorized under wartime ordinances that gave local authorities latitude to plug the change shortage, though the Reich treasury viewed the proliferation with mounting irritation.
The volume of surviving Seehausen Kleingeldscheine is low relative to issues from larger Altmark towns, which suggests a short and localized circulation rather than broad regional use.
