| Reverse lettering | Da ist's, wo meine Wiege stand! O grüß dich Gott, Westfalenland! Ihr mögt den Rhein den stolzen, preisen, der in dem Schoß der Reben liegt; wo in den Bergen ruht das Eisen, da hat die Mutter mich gewiegt. Hoch auf dem Fels die Tannen stehn, im grünen Tal die Herden gehn, als Wächter an des Hofes Saum reckt sich empor der Eichenbaum. Da ist's, wo meine Wiege stand! O grüß dich Gott, Westfalenland! |

Lübbecke's 1921 Notgeld issue belongs to the second wave of municipal emergency currency that flooded Germany as coin shortages persisted well beyond the armistice. By 1921 the acute metal scarcity of the war years had technically passed, but hyperinflationary pressure was already disrupting small-denomination coinage again — municipalities were essentially left to solve the problem themselves. Gustav Heynke, operating under the Kanne & Kuhne imprint in Detmold, was a regional printer who handled a number of Westphalian Notgeld commissions during this period.
Lübbecke was a modest market town in the Ravensberger Land; its series carries no particular rarity distinction but survives in reasonable numbers as a result of the contemporary collector trade that absorbed much of the print run before it ever reached a shop till.
