Nitribitt grew up in simple circumstances in Düsseldorf. Their level of education remained low. Equipped with a certain beauty, she noticed at the age of 14 that men could be caught with it. She begins to sell her body, initially as a simple prostitute. Their initial customers included American soldiers. She moved from Düsseldorf to Koblenz. Nitribitt worked as a waitress and later as a catwalk lady at fashion shows in Frankfurt am Main. She quickly figured out how to make even more money. She covered up her humble origins and learned English and French. She now worked as a prostitute in the red light district around Frankfurt Central Station. She caused a sensation in relevant circles when she bought a red Mercedes SL 190 Cabriolet and went looking for a suitor. This made her famous in the Main metropolis.

Nitribitt gained access to upper social circles, which included lawyers, doctors and entrepreneurs. They became her suitors, whom she received in her Frankfurt apartment. She kept records of her customers. Nitribitt became Germany's most famous "living lady". On November 1, 1957, Rosemarie Nitribitt was murdered and found dead in her apartment by criminal police officers. Her body was horribly mauled. Among other things, there were strangulation marks on her neck. In addition to the Mercedes Cabriolet SL 190, she also left behind assets of 90,000 DM in cash and a poodle named "Joe". A notebook in which she wrote down the names of her customers was also found in her apartment. The perpetrator was never identified, which is why the rumor mill about the murder case was bubbling across the country. The criminal police kept the names of the people secret; there were said to be over 100 of them. Among them are said to have been numerous leading figures from politics, business and industry, such as a bank director from Bad Homburg. She was buried in Düsseldorf, her mother's hometown.

The murder case preoccupied the entire republic and became an unparalleled media spectacle in 1957. The crime in the sexual environment exposed the social prudery of the Adenauer era in the 1950s. The following year the novel "Rosemarie - the German Miracle's Favorite Child" was published, which tells the story of Rosemarie Nitribitt. Shortly afterwards the novel was filmed as a contemporary version under the title "The Girl Rosemarie". Nadja Tiller played the role of Nitribitt, and other well-known German actors such as Gert Fröbe, Mario Adorf, Peter van Eyck and Carl Raddatz also took part. Politicians tried to prevent the film's release, but were unsuccessful. Almost forty years after the murder, the case still preoccupies the present. In 1996, a remake with the same title was released as a television version by director Bernd Eichinger. The Stuttgart actress Nina Hoss plays the title role of the prostitute.

The acting received good reviews. The film was cast with top-class German actors. Other roles included Til Schweiger, Hannelore Elsner, Katja Flint and Heiner Lauterbach.
