"Ännchen von Tharau" is a folk love song dedicated to Anna Neander (1615 Tharau - September 28, 1689 Insterburg), the daughter of the priest of Tharau (today: Wladimirowo in the Kaliningrad oblast). The song was written 1634 by Simon Dach on behalf of Johann von Klingsporn, who unsuccessfully wooed her. Anna married instead three priests consecutively. The original song is in the Samland-dialect of the Königsberg (today: Kaliningrad) region.
