"Der Arme Vetter" (The Poor Cousin) is a notable play written by the German expressionist artist and playwright Ernst Barlach. First published in 1919, the play is a poignant exploration of human suffering, social alienation, and the quest for spiritual redemption, themes that are recurrent in Barlach's body of work. Set against the backdrop of post-World War I Germany, "Der Arme Vetter" delves into the psychological and emotional turmoil experienced by individuals in a society grappling with the aftermath of conflict and the disintegration of traditional social structures.

The narrative centers around the character of the "poor cousin," a figure who embodies the marginalized and disenfranchised members of society. Through his interactions with other characters, Barlach examines the complexities of human relationships and the often harsh realities of social inequality. The play's expressionist style is evident in its use of symbolic imagery, stark dialogue, and a focus on the inner experiences of its characters, rather than external action.

Ernst Barlach, primarily known for his work as a sculptor and visual artist, brings a unique aesthetic sensibility to his dramatic writing. His background in the visual arts is reflected in the play's vivid and evocative stage directions, which create a powerful atmosphere that enhances the emotional impact of the narrative. "Der Arme Vetter" is a testament to Barlach's ability to convey profound philosophical and existential questions through the medium of theater.

The play has been praised for its deep empathy and its unflinching portrayal of the human condition. It remains a significant work in the canon of German expressionist theater, offering insight into the societal and personal struggles of the early 20th century. Through "Der Arme Vetter," Barlach invites audiences to reflect on the enduring issues of poverty, isolation, and the search for meaning in a fractured world.
