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