In 1922 the monastery was re-founded by the settlement here of German Cistercian monks from the former monastery of Mariastern in the present Bosnia.
The church was re-built under Abbot Vitus Recke (abbot from 1937 to 1959), and completed in 1962, and contains a famous organ by Johannes Klais.

The new abbey founded the Abbey of the Holy Cross, Itaporanga near São Paulo in Brazil, in 1936.

The abbey has a museum, a book - and art shop, a café, a guesthouse and retreat-house and a fishery.

The last abbot (as of 2006) is Bruno Fromme, in post since 1991.
