===Lutheran tradition===
[[Image:Monastery Ebstorf.jpg|thumb|400px|[[Ebstorf Abbey]] continued as a Lutheran convent in the Benedictine tradition since 1529]]
After the foundation of the [[Lutheran Church]]es, some monasteries in Lutheran lands (such as [[Amelungsborn Abbey]] near [[Negenborn]] and [[Loccum Abbey]] in [[Rehburg-Loccum]]) and convents (such as [[Ebstorf Abbey]] near the town of [[Uelzen]] and [[Bursfelde Abbey]] in [[Bursfelde]]) adopted the Lutheran Christian faith.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.medievalhistories.com/kloster-ebstorf-convent-bad-bevensen-near-luneburg/|title=Kloster Ebstorf|date=8 August 2014|publisher=Medieval Histories|language=en|access-date=20 November 2017|quote=The monastery is mentioned for the first time in 1197. It belongs to the group of so-called Lüneklöstern (monasteries of Lüne), which became Lutheran convents following the Protestant Reformation. […] It is currently one of several Lutheran convents maintained by the Monastic Chamber of Hanover (Klosterkammer Hannover), an institution of the former Kingdom of Hanover founded by its Prince-Regent, later King George IV of the United Kingdom, in 1818, in order to manage and preserve the estates of Lutheran convents.}}</ref>

Other examples of Lutheran religious orders include the [[Order of Lutheran Franciscans]] in the United States.  Also, a [[Lutheran]] religious order following the [[Rule of Saint Benedict]], The Congregation of the Servants of Christ, was established at St. Augustine's House in Oxford, Michigan, in 1958 when some other men joined Father [[Arthur Kreinheder]] in observing the monastic life and offices of prayer.<ref name="Aguilar2009">{{cite book |last1=Aguilar |first1=Mario L. |title=Contemplating God Changing the World |date=1 January 2009 |publisher=Church Publishing |isbn=978-1-59627-211-8 |page=xix |language=en |quote=Lutheran monasteries have been founded in the past 40 years in Denmark and Michigan, while an evangelical monastic community exists in Koera bearing the name of Jesus Abbey.}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.staugustineshouse.org|title=Saint Augustine's House Lutheran Monastery in Oxford, Michigan}}</ref> This order has strong ties to Benedictine Lutheran religious orders in Sweden ([[Östanbäck Monastery]]) and in Germany ([[Priory of St. Wigbert]]).
