Tobacco monument in the form of the two legendary "cigar barons" The monument with the two cigar smokers commemorates the two Bünde natives, August Steinmeister and Tönnies Wellensiek, who brought cigar production to the city between 1842 and 1843.

On both sides of the bridge there is a beautiful cycle and footpath on the dike along the Else. Since you don't get so close to the Else so often, you should particularly enjoy the view here.
