In 2019, the Benedictine nuns moved to a convent built for the elderly on the Venusberg in Bonn. The guest house took over the neighboring Salvatorian monastery as "Haus St. Benedikt". Future home of the Maria Frieden Trappist Abbey in Dahlem.

This guest house is the former Benedictine abbey of Maria Heimsuchung. This abbey was run by the Benedictine sisters as an independent guest house for decades. For reasons of age, the community decided in 2019 to move to an age-appropriate monastery. The community has found its new home on the Venusberg in Bonn.
The Steinfeld monastery now runs the guest house in the spirit of the sisters. Source: kloster-steinfeld.com/de/haus-stbenedikt

The patronage of this former abbey, "Visitation of Mary (or in another spelling: Visitation of Mary), refers to one of the many memorial days or festivals in honor of the Mother of God Mary. The term "Visitation" - which has negative connotations in our modern expression and way of thinking - refers in the Bible to Mary's visit to her relative Elizabeth.
She was married to Zacharias and the marriage remained childless, which was a social stigma at the time. But now - despite her advanced age - she became pregnant, which the Archangel Gabriel told Mary when he brought her the message that she herself would give birth to the Son of God, Jesus.
The son of Elizabeth and Zacharias was John, nicknamed "the Baptist", who is considered the forerunner/pioneer of Jesus Christ.
