On February 16, 1945, the Bielefeld Kleinbahn passenger train was bombed at this point. The second carriage of the train was completely destroyed in the attack and 19 people were found dead. The memorial cross and information board are intended to commemorate the unnecessary deaths of civilians.

After the memorial cross, the path should lead to the Baringhof and past it. However, the young farmer is waiting there who has something to compensate for and instead of a greeting he offers you "police, ban on entry, damages and violence" if you try to pass the farm outside the fence. Because experience has shown that it makes little sense to speak out against stupidity and aggression, you turn around and go a little further back past the edge of the forest or even further up through the forest at the Rirsen barrier....he probably won't be happy about that either and because there are hunting facilities there, the dike master will certainly be grumpy if he finds you there.
