1559 the Reformation was introduced in the monastery, but the monastery was a noble lady pin, retained its old facilities and relied more on his imperial immediacy. After severe damage to the building during the Thirty Years' War, it was rebuilt in the 18th century.

The German Kaiser Wilhelm II visited the monastery in 1904 to the handover of Äbtissinnenstabes to the Abbess wife v. Butlar. 1955 celebrated its millennial anniversary of the pen.

In the Collegiate Church, a tapestry from the year 1583, representing the founding history of the pen on six images depends. This rug inspired the author Manfred Hausmann his game The Legend Fischbecker Tapestry (1955), which has been listed multiple times in the collegiate church in Fischbeck.

Triumphal Cross

The Triumph of the Cross Fischbecker Collegiate Church is 235 cm high and 165 cm wide, the corpus measures 210 cm and has an arm span of 165 cm. The cross beams are original, but probably shortened at all ends. The triumph beam on which the cross is mounted since a renovation of the collegiate church in 1904, was installed probably higher than the original in this renovation, the original Triumph bar is not obtained. Whether the cross was part of a triumphal cross group is not known. The corpus is well preserved. The toes have nicks. On some hair curls are canceled. The two crowns are being carved on the head. The arms of the crucifix are separately carved and dowelled. In the skull there is an opening, possibly a Reliquiendepositum, which was empty even with a restoration of the figure in 1965.

The cross comes from the Lower Saxon art circle. Striking are particularly recourse to traditional forms, such as the double crown and the open eyes. Similarities can be found in a triumphal cross in Deckbergen and the triumph of the Cross Osnabrück Cathedral, so that the fish Becker cross can be dated to the mid-13th century. Since the fish Becker Collegiate Church was damaged by fire in 1234 and consecrated in 1254 again, the cross can be associated with this Neuweihe.
