Hadersleben — Haderslev in Danish — had been transferred from Germany to Denmark just months before this note was issued, following the 1920 Schleswig plebiscite that returned the northern zone to Danish sovereignty. The Magistrat und Byraad (the hybrid German-Danish municipal title itself reflecting the administrative chaos of the transition) issued small-denomination Notgeld precisely because the currency changeover from the German Mark to the Danish Krone left an immediate gap in everyday small change.
Hartung & Co. in Hamburg printed the note — a German firm, for a municipality that had just ceased to be German.
