because my co-worker gave me a hint, that it might not be totally clear what I'm asking for:

all I am asking for is to send the bgp neighbor a bgp message and tell him he should re-send his routes (cisco-syntax: clear bgp 1.2.3.4 soft in), not a separate routing-table where I can see the received-routes (this is not necessary in our case and I understand that this might be hard to implement).
