The Iron Lady actress was handed the prize by Jake Gyllenhaal - a member of the festival's 2012 jury - during a special ceremony at Berlinale Palace on Tuesday.
Streep had previously been handed several presents earlier in the day at a press conference, including a Russian doll from one reporter, while another gave her a large bouquet of flowers.
Upon receiving the bouquet, she joked: "How beautiful! My husband didn't send me flowers, so thank God for Dieter!"
