The Oblate Fathers were present on Allerheiligenberg from 1919 to 2012. During this period, they provided pastoral care for the neighboring Allerheiligenberg Chapel. The monastery housed a community of popular missionaries and later, in the 1990s, a youth community. Until its closure, it served as a scholasticate for the Central European Oblate Province, where young religious studied theology at the Philosophical-Theological University in Vallendar after their novitiate. Most recently, ten religious members from various countries lived there. In 2012, the Oblates left the monastery. At the end of 2014, the property was privatized and has been used as a multi-generational shared living community since 2015, complemented by a café, bed and breakfast, seminars, and cultural events.
