Germany was required to pay reparations totaling 132 billion gold marks, as stipulated in the Treaty of Versailles following World War I. This amount was later revised to reparations of 50 billion gold marks, but the actual payments and negotiations evolved over the years, with Germany ultimately paying a significant portion until the payments were concluded in the mid-20th century. The reparations were a source of significant economic strain and social unrest in Germany during the interwar period.

Why did money in Europe become worthless after World War 1?
It was more the economy of Germany that became worthless. After loosing the war, Germany was forced to pay reparations, under the Treaty of Versailles. The total money owed was 269,000,000,000 in gold marks (German currency). That much in gold coins equaled about 233,405,018 lbs of pure gold. In trying to cover it's debts, Germany began printing money, which lead to severe hyperinflation of national prices. This hyperinflation caused instability in the economy and the German mark to be useless. Germany had also been accepting loan offers from various countries to help pay the reparations. In 1929, when the Stock Market Collapsed, many of these loans were called in, and Germany had to pay out substantial amounts of money.

true.
Why were the reparations from World War 1 not get fully paid off before World War 2 was it because Germany couldn't manage them financially or was it because they refused to pay?
The economists told the writers of the Versailles Treaty that Germany simply did not have the money to pay the amount they were demanding. They told them it would take until 1988 for Germany to pay the debt back. It was basically an impossible demand and Germany would never have been able to pay it all back.
