| Comments |
Büdelsdorf, a small industrial town in Schleswig-Holstein, issued this 25 Pfennig Notgeld during the currency emergency of the early 1920s, when hyperinflation and a chronic shortage of small-denomination coinage forced hundreds of German municipalities to print their own emergency money. Leck & Rotermundt was a Hamburg commercial printer that handled Notgeld contracts for numerous northern German communities during this period — workmanlike output, not a fine arts press.
The DeNG reference places this within a numbered municipal series, suggesting Büdelsdorf issued at least three related notes simultaneously.
