Seehausen im der Altmark is a small market town in the Altmark region of Saxony-Anhalt, and this 5 Pfennig note belongs to the enormous wave of municipal Notgeld issued across Germany from 1916 onward as wartime metal shortages pulled copper and nickel coins out of circulation entirely. The Reichsbank could not fill the gap fast enough, so thousands of towns — Seehausen among them — contracted local and regional printers to produce their own emergency fractional currency.
Edler & Krische, the Hanover firm responsible here, handled Notgeld commissions for numerous small municipalities during this period. Their output was competent rather than distinguished.
