In Thea von Harbou's
Metropolis (1924), the scientist Rotgang creates a robot to replace Hel, the woman he lost to Joh Frederson, and who died giving birth to Frederson's son. Rotgang intended to put Hel's face on the robot and keep her for himself, before Frederson forced him to use the robot for other ends.
