Kurzenmoor is a small community in Schleswig-Holstein, and its wartime Notgeld issues were printed by Konrad Hanf in Hamburg — a firm that handled a significant volume of local emergency currency for northern German municipalities during the inflationary period following World War I. The 80 Pfennig denomination is slightly unusual; most Gemeinde-level issues clustered around 25, 50, and 75 Pfennig values, making this an odd-denomination outlier worth noting.
