Justifications:

  • Why I used the Latin name and not the German:
    • Because people who read English usually don't read German, but they may know some Latin. The Latin name is taken intact from a medieval pictorial representation of the monastery.
  • Why I didn't use the title Holy cross monastery:
    • Because there are many monasteries with that name, so it will become a disambiguation page some time.

I take your comments on board, but the German name is much the more commonly used in English, so I've moved it. --OpenToppedBus - Talk to the driver 10:38, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
