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.

Victory Column

Highlight • Monument

The Victory Column was built in 1874 and is located in the immediate vicinity of Schwerin Castle. It is to commemorate the fallen Mecklenburg soldiers in the Franco-German War of 1870/1871.
Gustav Willgohs created the victory column from captured French artillery. The bronze guns were melted down and poured into a mold to form the victory column.

Schwerin Castle

Highlight • Castle

This magnificent jewel is located directly on Lake Schwerin. Schwerin Castle is certainly one of the most beautiful in Germany. I couldn't decide which side is the prettiest. Whether at sunset from the lake side or with the beautifully landscaped castle park in the foreground. After the walk, you can also visit the fairytale castle from the inside as part of a guided tour.

Opening times castle museum:
April 14th to October 13th
Tuesday to Sunday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m

October 14th to April 13th

Schwerin Castle Garden

Highlight • Natural Monument

The approximately 25-hectare Schwerin palace garden is one of the most beautiful baroque gardens in northern Germany. The Schwerin Palace Garden was originally laid out as a pleasure garden based on the French model.

From 1748 it was given its present form. This includes the cross channel, which was created as the centerpiece according to designs by the garden architect Jean Legeay. In the middle of the 19th century, the park was then expanded to include greenhouse gardens, kitchen gardens and the riparian zones based on the English model.
