contents We prove a synthetic Bonnet-Myers rigidity theorem for globally hyperbolic Lorentzian length spaces with global curvature bounded below by $K<0$ and an open distance realizer of length $L=\fracπ{\sqrt{|K|}}$: It states that the space necessarily is a warped product with warping function $\cos:(-\fracπ{2},\fracπ{2})\to\mathbb{R}_+$. From this, one also sees that a globally hyperbolic spacetime with curvature bounded above by $K<0$ and an open distance realizer of length $L=\fracπ{\sqrt{|K|}}$ is a warped product with warping function $\cos$.
