The bridge monument "Jan Reiners Bridge" is located on the Jan Reiners cycle path and commemorates the historic railway bridge that once crossed the Wümme. The Jan Reiners Railway, a narrow-gauge railway, ran between Bremen and Tarmstedt from 1900 to 1956. Part of the original bridge has been preserved as a monument and is now a popular resting place for cyclists and hikers on the cycle path. The original bridge had to make way for the construction of a bypass in 2008. However, a fragment of the bridge was erected as a monument on the initiative of the Borgfeld Citizens' Association to commemorate the historical significance of the Jan Reiners Railway.

The Jan Reiners cycle path is a popular cycle and hiking path that runs along the route of the former Bremen-Tarmstedt narrow-gauge railway. This narrow-gauge railway was in operation from 1900 to 1956 and was named in honor of Johann Reiners, the then chairman of the agricultural association in Lilienthal. The cycle path stretches from Bremen via Lilienthal to Tarmstedt and offers a scenic route through the Teufelsmoor in Lower Saxony. The route leads through idyllic landscapes and small villages, making it ideal for leisurely bike rides and long walks. The path is mostly asphalted and therefore offers good road conditions for cyclists. There are numerous opportunities to rest and refreshments along the way, as well as interesting sights such as the Truper Chapel and the artists' village of Worpswede. The Jan Reiners path is popular not only because of its historical significance, but also because of its scenic beauty and easy accessibility. It starts in Bremen and leads through the Bürgerpark and the Blockland before reaching Lilienthal and continuing to Tarmstedt.
