Westerhorn is a village in Schleswig-Holstein with a population that, even today, barely reaches four figures. That a municipality this small issued its own emergency currency is a direct consequence of the Reichsbank's inability to keep small-denomination coinage in circulation during and after the First World War — hoarding and metal shortages made Pfennig coins effectively disappear from everyday trade, forcing thousands of German municipalities to print their own Notgeld to make change. Konrad Hanf in Hamburg was a prolific printer of such local issues, supplying numerous small Schleswig-Holstein communities.
