Stedesand is a village in Schleswig, and its 1920 Notgeld issue comes directly out of the postwar coin shortage that forced thousands of German municipalities — down to the smallest parishes — to print their own emergency fractional currency. Gebh. & Kunze were a Flensburg printer with a substantial run of regional Notgeld contracts during this period, which gives the note competent production values despite its obscure origin.
Schleswig itself was in political limbo in 1920, with the zone plebiscites of February and March that year deciding whether the region would remain German or transfer to Denmark. Stedesand fell within the second zone and voted to stay with Germany.
