Kevelaer is a small Rhenish town whose status as one of the most visited Catholic pilgrimage sites in northwestern Germany made it an unusual issuer among the hundreds of German municipalities that printed emergency currency during the 1920–1923 Notgeld wave. The Gemeindekasse — the municipal treasury, not a bank — was the direct issuing authority, which was common for smaller towns that lacked a local savings institution substantial enough to back scrip.
The DeNG reference indicates this is the third variant in a three-note series for this denomination, suggesting Kevelaer issued multiple design types rather than a single undifferentiated run — worth distinguishing when cataloging.
