Rellingen is a small municipality in Schleswig-Holstein, northwest of Hamburg, and its 1921 Notgeld issue belongs to the vast second wave of German emergency money produced after the postwar inflation began eroding coin from circulation. By 1921, virtually every German municipality, no matter how minor, had the legal standing to issue its own fractional notes — a situation that produced thousands of distinct types and turned Notgeld collecting into a hobby almost contemporaneous with the notes themselves.
Rellingen's issue is not among the more artistically ambitious of the period and carries no known printing curiosity or error variant on record.
