Wesenberg is a small lakeside town in Mecklenburg whose wartime and postwar small-change crisis prompted it, like thousands of German municipalities, to print its own emergency fractional currency. The 1921 date places this note in the later Notgeld wave — by then the acute coin shortage that triggered the first issues had subsided, and many towns were printing Notgeld more for collector sale than genuine circulation need. Wesenberg was no exception to that commercial logic.
The DeNG reference suffix "1a-1/3" indicates a series position, suggesting at least three notes in the local set.
