This is Notgeld — emergency small-change scrip issued by a pair of private Flensburg retailers, apparently a druggist and a stationery shop operating under the same Röhr surname, almost certainly a family business. The timing matters: 1921 Flensburg was a city still raw from the 1920 plebiscite that had returned it to Germany rather than Denmark, and the German mark was already sliding toward the hyperinflation that would detonate fully in 1923. Municipal and private Notgeld filled the acute coin shortage that preceded the monetary collapse.
Gebr. & Kunze were a local Flensburg printer, which keeps this squarely in the category of purely local scrip with no pretense to wider circulation.
