In 1809, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe dedicated a ballad to Johanna Sebus, in which he described her selfless commitment and her dramatic death.[1] This ballad was set to music in 1810 by Carl Friedrich Zelter, at the poet's own request. In addition, there is a version composed in April 1821 by Franz Schubert (D 728); the song was first published in 1894/95.

Johanna Sebus (born December 28, 1791 in Brienen, † January 13, 1809) from Brienen near Cleves on the Lower Rhine initially rescued her mother from the floods of the Rhine at a dam break and then was killed when she wanted to help other people. Her body was found when the water ran off and buried in the cemetery in cattle. In 1872, her grave was integrated into the building while building a new church. In 1811 a memorial was erected in her honor in Rindern-Wardhausen
