INFORMATION

FontID: 03089HUT
Church/Chapel: Eglise paroissiale Saint-Adelphe
Church Patron Saints: St. Adelphus
Church Location: place de l'Eglise, 67230 Huttenheim, France
Country Name: France
Location: Bas-Rhin, Grand Est
Directions to Site: Located off the D729, E of the N83-E25 to Selestat, just SW of Benfeld, about 22 km S of Strasbourg
Font Location in Church: Inside the church, S aisle, W end
Century and Period: 17th century, Renaissance
Church Notes: church originally 7thC; listed in Mérimée [ref.: IA00023588]: "La première église remonterait au 7e siècle ; vestiges (chapiteaux romans) du 12e ou 13e siècle ; tour porche (désaffectée) datée de 1582 mais sans doute plus ancienne ; surhaussée au 17e siècle ; nef reconstruite d'après l'inscription en 1843, consacrée en 1844".
Listed by Enlart (1902) as a Renaissance octagonal font in the Alsace. Two fonts are listed in Palissy for this church: 1)17th-century font [ref.: IM67000773]: "fonts baptismaux [grès] [...] Cuve octogonale [...] Pied d'origine remplacé par un pied moderne [...] ornementation (ornement à forme géométrique : ferronnerie) [...] 17e siècle (?)"; and 2)early-18th century font [ref.: IM67000772]: "fonts baptismaux [grès] [...] Cuve circulaire [actuellement démontée]; pied tourné [...] ornementation (feuille d'acanthe, angelot) [...] 1708". There is at least one metal staple on the upper rim from an old font cover anchorage; the Palissy entry does not mention the German language inscription on the font; the partial text shown in one of the photographs [cf. ImagesArea] reads: "[?] / FFT SINDT / DIE HABEN / CHRISTVM / [?]"; it appears to be "wie vilewrtaufft sindt die haben Christum angezogen", probably from Ephesians 5.
