Langelohe is a small village in Schleswig-Holstein, and its decision to issue notgeld in 1921 reflects the chronic small-change shortage that plagued Germany well into the early Weimar period — metal coinage had largely vanished from circulation, hoarded or melted, and municipalities of almost any size were permitted to fill the gap with their own paper. Konrad Hanf of Hamburg was a prolific notgeld printer who both designed and produced issues for dozens of north German communities, which means the artistic quality here owes more to a commercial print house than to any local initiative.
