Behrens was the daughter of the military doctor and writer Hugo Behrens (pseudonym: B. Renz); she spent most of her school days in Quedlinburg . Her father's job-related transfer brought her to Salzwedel in 1876 , where she lived with her parents for two years. Encouraged by her father, Behrens made her debut in 1878 with her novel From the Life of My Old Friend . Due to this success, she became one of the most important employees of the magazine Die Gartenlaube from this year on .

After living in Frankfurt am Main for some time , the parents and their daughter finally settled in Kötzschenbroda in 1881 at today's Hermann-Ilgen-Strasse 21, where they lived in the neighborhood of Karl May . They called the house "Villa Heimburg". In 1910 she acquired the now listed Villa Heimburg in Niederlößnitz at Borstrasse 15 , which she called "Haus Heimburg".

The author was very well received by the readership and was considered the legitimate successor to E. Marlitt and E. Werner . Hedwig Courths-Mahler later stated that she would have liked to read the stories of Wilhelmine Heimburg. After Marlitt's death, she was even asked to continue writing and finishing her last novel, The Owl House , which had only just begun . Heimburg's best-known completely own work was Lumpenmüller's Lieschen from 1879.

Two days after her 64th birthday, the writer Bertha Behrens died on September 9, 1912 in Niederlößnitz. She was cremated in the Tolkewitz crematorium and buried in the Behrens family grave at Radebeul-West cemetery next to her father and her brother Carl Ludwig Max Behrens .
