Mass unemployment, which destabilized the political system.

Contrary to a widespread myth, it wasn't hyperinflation. The period of hyperinflation in Germany was 1919-1923 and the currency was was stabilised in November 1923. In the early 1930s the key economic problems were high unemployment and fallingprices. (These led people to postpone non-essential purchases in the expectation that prices would fall even further, and this in turn worsened unemployment). Anyone who finds this hard to believe need only look at German stamps of banknotes for 1923, for example on Ebay ...

Though the hyperinflation of the early 1920s didn't bring the Nazis to power, it is often said that it severely weakened the support of the middle classes for the Weimar Republic.
