Quern is a small parish in Schleswig, a region whose political status was still raw in 1921 — the plebiscite of March that year had only just confirmed the area's return to Germany after Danish administration following World War I. Notgeld issues from borderland Gemeinden in this period carried an implicit civic assertion, communities re-establishing local identity through the most quotidian possible medium. Appel's press in Süderbrarup served dozens of such parishes across Angeln and the Schlei region, producing small runs that rarely saw heavy circulation before the inflation emergency had passed.
