25 Pfennig

Langensalza notgeld from 1920 falls into the second wave of German municipal emergency money — issued not from genuine coin shortage, as in 1914–1919, but because the Reichsbank's fractional currency simply couldn't keep pace with postwar inflation and hoarding. By 1920, hundreds of German towns were printing their own small-denomination paper with little more than a rubber stamp and local authority behind it. Langensalza, a small Thuringian spa town better known for the 1866 battle where Prussian forces defeated the Hanoverian army, was one of many that issued series running to multiple denominations and design variants.

The Grasse and Bremer catalog numbers both indicate this is a specific variant within a wider Langensalza set — the "a" suffix on the Grasse reference suggests at least one additional print variant exists for this denomination.
