Comments

Langenhorn is a small village in the Schleswig region, and the Pfennig notes issued by its municipality in 1921 belong to the vast Notgeld wave that swept German and Austrian communities following the First World War. What distinguishes this particular issue is the involvement of Ingwer Paulsen, a regional artist with genuine roots in Schleswig folk tradition — his contributions to local Notgeld were not jobbing commercial work but reflect a deliberate effort to document North Frisian cultural imagery at a moment when the region's political future was still unsettled following the 1920 Schleswig plebiscite.

Gebr. & Kunze in Flensburg handled production, keeping the printing close to the community it served.
