"They rise at 3:00 am for Mass. They work and study and pray. They are vegetarians.
The Cistercian Rule is considered one of the strictest in the Church, and the Order has left their mark on Germany for centuries.
The Abbey at Mariawald was established in 1486, six years before Christopher Columbus set sail for America. The monastery is picturesquely located among rolling green fields and forests near Germany’s French and Belgian borders.
Here, the strict rule of the Trappists is once again in effect, by special permission of Pope Benedict XVI. The monks celebrate the traditional Latin Mass in their ancient Rite."

Slight correction: They celebrate the Office of Readings at 3:00 AM.
For those interested in religious life: I heard they are accepting candidates outside of Germany, so if anyone is interested you can contact the abbey.
