Scintillating, cryogenic bolometers are widely used in the field of rare event searches. Their main advantages are an excellent energy resolution and particle identification on an event-by-event basis. The sensitivity of experiments applying this detector technique can be limited by the performance of the light channel and the presence of external backgrounds in the region of interest. In the framework of the CRESST-II experiment, we developed and successfully tested a novel detector design addressing both challenges. Using a large scale ($\approx$\unit[60]{cm$^2$}), beaker-shaped silicon light absorber, the signal height recorded in the light channel is improved by a factor 2.5 compared to conventional CRESTT-II detector modules. In combination with a large carrier crystal, a true $4\pi$ veto system is established which allows to tag external background sources.
