Some Stifte survived and form still the endowments of modern mostly Catholic monasteries, then often called "Stift X", such as Stift Melk.
Similar to the English development, where canon-law colleges with their endowments became sometimes the nucleuses for secular educational colleges the former Augustinian collegiate endowment in Tübingen is maintained until today as the Tübinger Stift, a foundation of the Lutheran Evangelical State Church in Württemberg for the theological education.
