Kleinsiedlung Nordmark was a cooperative housing settlement on the outskirts of Husum, in Schleswig-Holstein — a region that had just passed through a 1920 plebiscite determining its future between Germany and Denmark. The settlement issued its own Notgeld during the acute small-change shortage of 1921, a common municipal and institutional practice across Weimar Germany when coin metal was being hoarded or melted.
Max Böttcher's involvement points to a local commission rather than a print-house stock design. The DeNG reference suffix "1/4" indicates this is one of four known types in the series.
