The basic cause of hyperinflation was the govt's(Government's) decision to print money. It was the government who gained from this process. eliminating the vast mountain of debt that the First World War had left it.

The introduction of a new currency on the November 15, 1923 was eventually to bring stability but it did not restore prosperity to those who had been ruined.

This was caused by the government printing enormous amounts of money, and the confiscation by the allies that gave gold, and backed up the money.
