There are two fonts in this church, this one, of 1613, used for baptisms, and a former 15th-century font now re-purposed as holy-water stoup. This 1613 font is listed in Dehio's Handbuch... Franken. Die Regierungsbezirke Oberfranken, Mittelfranken und Unterfranken (1979). The entry for this church in the German Wikipedia [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Maria_Magdalena_(Münnerstadt)] [accessed 23 February 2025] reports a baptismal font here dated 1613 located by the Ritterkapelle and made by Georg Prünn, bearing scenes of the Vita Christi (Annunciation, Nativity and Cicumcision), as well as the Baptism of Christ, Mary and John the Baptist) ["Der Taufstein vor der Ritterkapelle stammt aus dem Jahr 1613 und wurde von Georg Prünn angefertigt. Auf dem Taufstein befinden sich Darstellungen von der Verkündigung, Geburt, Beschneidung und Taufe sowie Maria, Schmerzensmann und Johannes dem Täufer."] Octagonal basin decorated with scenes of the Vita Christi, Christ in Majesty, crowned Madonna and Child, and lots of foliage, floral and fruit motifs all around the basin and the round-to-octagonal base.
