| Comments |
Eutin sits in Holstein, and in 1921 the rural municipality — not the town itself — was issuing its own emergency currency. The distinction matters: Land-Gemeinde Eutin was the surrounding administrative district, a separate entity from the Stadtgemeinde, and both were producing Notgeld simultaneously. Collectors sometimes conflate the two issuers, which creates attribution headaches for this series.
H. G. Rahtgens was a Lübeck printing house responsible for a considerable volume of Holstein Notgeld during the inflation period. Competent regional work, nothing more.
