The fountain "Rescue from Sea Distress" by the artist Hugo Berwald (built in 1910/11) on Grunthalplatz, as its name suggests, commemorates the dangerous work of the sea rescue service – specifically the work of the founder's husband. The fountain, which depicts water-spouting sea lions, a rock, a boat wreck, and a naked youth with a naked girl rescued from the water by him, has only been in its current location since 1929. Previously, the bronze sculpture was located in the Old Town Market. The founder, Emma Mühlenbruch, a commercial councilor and widow of a cigar dealer, is said to have fainted at the unveiling of the fountain due to the "immoral" depiction of the nude figures.

The fountain "Rescue from Sea Distress," a bronze sculpture created by the sculptor Hugo Berwald in 1911, was surrounded by scandal at the time in conservative Schwerin. The fountain, depicting a strong man rescuing a naked young woman from the waves, originally stood on the market square and was relocated to its current location in front of the train station building in 1927.
