| Comments |
Hainholz was a small community in the Amtsbezirk Nordende, near Pinneberg in Schleswig-Holstein. Like thousands of German municipalities scrambling to fill the void left by hoarded coins after 1914, it commissioned this Notgeld from Konrad Hanf in Hamburg — a local commercial printer rather than a specialist banknote house. Hanf produced municipal emergency issues for numerous small north German communities during the same period, which means the printing quality and paper stock here reflect a jobbing print run, not a dedicated currency contract.
