Your question is somewhat incomplete, but based on the number (zwanzigtausend is German for 20,000) what you have is probably a 20,000 mark note from the 1920s. It was issued during a period of hyperinflation so its actual purchasing power was very low. Most German banknotes from that time aren't worth a tremendous amount because so many were printed as the government tried to keep up with changing prices. For example, if your bill has the date February 20, 1923 (probably written "20.2.1923" or "2 Februar 1923" in German) it's only worth a euro - about $1.45.
