Kleinsiedlung Nordmark was a cooperative housing settlement outside Husum, and like hundreds of similar municipal and quasi-municipal bodies during the 1921 small-change crisis, it issued its own Notgeld when Reichsmark coins effectively vanished from circulation through hoarding and melting. The designer credit to Em. Gurlitt is worth noting — almost certainly a reference to the Gurlitt family of Hamburg art dealers and publishers, suggesting the settlement sought a degree of artistic credibility rather than simply commissioning a local printer's stock layout.
Husum-area Notgeld from this period was printed locally in short runs and rarely saw wide distribution beyond the immediate community.
