To print out the money to pay for reperations, and plus Germany lost alot of valueble land for trading, Belgium and France invaded the Ruhr because they felt like Germany was not paying the reparations, so a lot of money was lost over all. and because Germany kept printing money, the currency became useless - and the middle-class people’s savings were wiped out.
