On the occasion of the Federal Garden Show 2009, the redesigned square on the southern shore of Lake Burgsee in Schwerin was named after Bertha Klingberg. A plaque on it commemorates the honorary citizen. On June 2, 2010, a life-size bronze statue made by Bernd Streiter was erected at the edge of the square.

Bertha Klingberg was born in Hamburg, but grew up with her grandparents in Bützow, in today's Mecklenburg-West Pomerania. She discovered her love for nature early on. At the age of 14 she began an apprenticeship as a flower maker in Rostock. The death of her husband in World War I brought Bertha Klingberg and her son to Schwerin. After the end of the war, she earned her living as a flower woman at the Schwerin butcher's market. She always wore a traditional Rehna costume, which contributed to her status as a real "original". The people of Schwerin affectionately called her the "flower woman". In 1990, now at the age of 91, she collected 17,000 signatures in Schwerin for the appointment of her beloved city as the state capital of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Because of this achievement, in 1993 she was the first and only one to receive the ring of honor from the state capital of Schwerin. In 2002 she was made an honorary citizen of Schwerin by the city council. On November 7, 2005, Bertha Klingberg died in a nursing home in Schwerin at the age of 107.

Original from Schwerin, the bouquet of flowers rode a bicycle through the city until old age and sold flowers

The "flower woman" sitting on a bench is reminiscent of the honorary citizen of Schwerin, Bertha Klingberg.
