Kwiatowa street only appeared in the maps of then Bromberg in 1886, where, according to the address book of the time, only one plot was built. During its existence, the street's name switched between German and Polish: • till 1920 and from 1939 to 1945 "Blumenstraße"; • in 1920–1939 and after 1945, "Ulica Kwiatowa". In both languages, the name refers to Flower street (), (). == Main areas and edifices ==
Main areas and edifices
Tenement at 1, corner with 35 Pomorska Street 1897–1899, by Fritz Weidner Eclecticism & forms of Neo-Baroque and Art Nouveau Hermann Schulz, a wealthy baker, charged Fritz Weidner to design his habitation, which initial address was Rinkauerstraße 22-23. A thorough refurbishment has been carried out in 2015 by a real estate firm. Architecturally, the facade echoes the style of corner house with Podolska street, at the southern part of Pomorska street. The façade of the building is decorated with reliefs, floral stucco ornaments and putti. Arched windows, loggias, balconies flanked by massive columns richly adorn the elevation. One can underline the detailed low-relief of Demeter with Cupid as a putto on the first floor, testifying to the wealth of original owner (H. Schulz): as a baker, the image of the goddess of corn, grain, and harvest could be the only patron.

The plot changed four times its house numbering: "25 Mittelstraße" (1885), "28 Mittelstraße" (1900), "48 Mittelstraße" (1915) and today's "32 Sienkiewicza street". The refurbishment completed in 2020 salvaged the elevation which was in a bad technical condition.Furthermore, the facade probably lost its architectural details in the course of earlier works.

Some preserved elements of architecture are still visible on the ground floor: an entrance portal flanked by two columns and topped by an elliptic transom, and a floral motif frieze running all the way along wall.
