Johanna Stegen

In the course of the battle, the Prussian regiment risked running out of ammunition, and so Stegen rushed ammunition to them in her apron, thus significantly contributing to the Prussian victory.

In 1817, she married the Prussian corporal Wilhelm Hindersin in Berlin - he had recently become a Royal Masterprinter in the war ministry.

In her memory a young woman dresses as her once a year to clean the war monument in Lüneburg and to tell onlookers of her actions, and streets in Lüneburg and Berlin-Steglitz are still named after her.

Johanna Langefeld, a Nazi concentration camp guard, was named for her.
