"Der Krüppel" (The Cripple) is a notable work by German artist Heinrich Hoerle (1895–1936), who was a prominent figure in the Dada movement and later associated with the New Objectivity (Neue Sachlichkeit) during the Weimar Republic era. Created in 1920, this piece reflects the artist's engagement with the human condition, particularly the physical and psychological scars left by World War I on German society.

The painting depicts a war cripple, a common sight in post-war Germany, where many veterans returned with severe injuries. Hoerle's work is characterized by its simplified forms, reductive color palette, and a focus on the social realities of his time. "Der Krüppel" stands as a poignant social commentary, emphasizing the plight of the disabled and the neglected in the aftermath of the war. The figure in the painting is typically portrayed with a stark, almost mechanical appearance, highlighting the dehumanizing effects of war and the intersection of humanity with the industrial age.

Hoerle's approach in "Der Krüppel" is emblematic of the New Objectivity's direct and unvarnished portrayal of contemporary life, eschewing the emotional expressionism of earlier movements for a more detached, critical perspective. The artwork serves not only as a representation of the individual subject but also as a symbol of the collective trauma and the challenges of reintegrating war veterans into civilian life.

As a significant piece of Weimar art, "Der Krüppel" has been discussed in the context of the historical avant-garde's response to war and its aftermath. The painting is often examined for its socio-political content as well as its aesthetic contributions to the New Objectivity movement. Heinrich Hoerle's work, including "Der Krüppel," continues to be of interest to scholars and art enthusiasts for its historical significance and its powerful, enduring message about the human cost of conflict.
