Nordström (1984) refers to a representation of the Baptism of Christ on the side of this font. Described and Illustrated in Bolege-Vieweg (1998) as a tub-shaped cylindrical baptismal font of the 12th century. Noted in Drake (2002) as one of a group of Westphalian cylinder fonts, a sub-group of which have figures beneath a Lombard frieze (sub-group B3) [the fonts listed in this sub-group are: Aplerbeck, Bochum, Bramsche, Hagen, Lippoldsberg, Rastede]. The upper side of the basin, just below the rim, is ornamented with a band of palmette motif between two parallel dotted lines; below this, an arcade of round arches without supports; under the arcade are contained seven scenes, five of which relate to events in the life of Christ (Nativity, Baptism of Christ in a font, Crucifixion, Massacre of the Innocents and Adoration of the Magi [order a/p source cited]). One of the upper sides of the rim appears damaged. The font, like many others in the area, has been fitted with a grid-like cover of cast-iron (?) and raised on short round base, both modern. The RuhrNachrichten [www.ruhrnachrichten.de/staedte/dortmund/Ein-Taufstein-aus-alter-Zeit;art2575,1136273] [accessed 19 December 2013] notes that at the end of the 19th century the font was removed to a museum in Dortmund, and then to Cappenberg for the duration of WWII; it was located at the entrance of the Museum am Ostwall [now Museum Ostwall] where it served as an ashtray; it was brought back to its original church in 1980; it had originally been located beneath the tower of Georgskirche, which served as baptistery, but the restoration of the church made that the main entrance, and the font was re-located to an apse at the east end, near the altar. The original basin has been raised on a simple round moulded lower base. On-site notes: cylindrical font of stone decorated with scenes from the life of Christ cycle; the upper rim has large areas of damage; the lower base was replaced in 1982, a date painted on it in black lettering. There is no cover present.
