Lutter am Barenberge is a small town in Lower Saxony, and in 1920 it was one of hundreds of German localities issuing Notgeld to cover a coin shortage so acute that the Reichsbank simply could not keep up. The cooperative bank here — a "Volksbank" in the strict credit union sense, not a municipal authority — is an unusual issuer; most Kleingeldscheine of this type came from town councils or commercial merchants' associations, not member-owned financial institutions.
F. Lüttner is otherwise unattested in the major Notgeld printer records, suggesting local or regional production rather than one of the Leipzig or Berlin specialist houses that dominated the market.
