As it became clear that this site was unviable (owing to lack of access to water) it was abandoned, and a new monastery, Corbeia nova (Corvey Abbey), opened close to the river.
Kui sai selgeks, et paik oli elujõuetu (veeallikate puudumise tõttu), jäeti see maha ja uus klooster, Corbeia nova (Corvey klooster), avati jõe lähedal.
