Ferryman Maria) is a 1936 German horror film directed by Frank Wisbar and starring Sybille Schmitz.

Some time later, a homeless woman arrives in the village seeking employment, and takes over the ferrying duties.

Maria realizes that the stranger is Death itself, and she seeks to outwit him by directing him away from her hut and into the village where a festival is in progress.

As they negotiate the treacherous path through the marsh, Maria again prays that her own life be sacrificed so the man she has been sheltering may live.

Though Joseph Goebbels, Propaganda Minister for the Third Reich, dismissed it as "an experiment, but not a good one", the film still received an award for artistic value.
