Kurzenmoor is a small community in Schleswig-Holstein, and like hundreds of German municipalities it resorted to locally printed Kleingeldersatz during the acute coin shortage that followed the First World War. The 70-Pfennig denomination is an odd one — not a round figure, not a postal rate — which suggests it was calculated to fill a specific gap in whatever denominations the Gemeinde had already issued rather than to serve any obvious transactional need.
Konrad Hanf was a Hamburg commercial printer, not a specialist security firm, which is typical for small-commune Notgeld of this period.
