AB  - CRESST is a cryogenic direct Dark Matter search experiment based on phonon-lighttechnique. It is aiming for the detection of <i>weakly interacting massiveparticles</i> (WIMPs) via their scattering off nuclei in CaWO<sub>4</sub> targetcrystals. Significant improvements have been achieved with respect to previousmeasurement campaigns in terms of intrinsic radiopurity of CaWO<sub>4</sub> crystals andrejection of nuclear recoil events from alpha decays near surfaces. In thiscontribution, the related changes in the detector design will be discussed.Based on the first  ∼ 30 kg-live-days of data acquired by a single CaWO<sub>4</sub> detector modulewith a new design, we present limits for the spin-independent WIMP-nucleoncross section, which exclude new parameter space below 3 GeV/c<sup>2</sup>.
