The monument in the city center commemorates the beginnings of cigar production in Bünde in the 19th century. To this day, cigars are still made in frets.

The monument with the two cigar smokers commemorates the two citizens of Graubünden, August Steinmeister and Tönnies Wellensiek, who brought the cigar production business to the city between 1842 and 1843.
