Lübke (1870) notes a metal font "of the year 1337, which is supported by angels". Noted in 'Gotische Bronzefünten in Nordostdeutschland' [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gotische_Bronzef%C3%BCnten_in_Nordostdeutschland] [accessed 30 March 2010]. Noted and illustrated and with the transcription of the inscriptions in Hans Apengeter (2022) as a baptismal font by Hans Apengeter, from Sassenland, identified in the Middle-Low German inscription on the font, as is the date of 1337 ["Gießer dieser Erzfünte ist Hans Apengeter, der namentlich auf dem Fries der Taufe in mittelniederdeutsch benannt wird: Vergip alle Missetat deme di dit Vat gemaket hat Hans Apengeter was he genannt und was geboren van Sassenland. Auch die Stiftung dieser Taufe durch die Lübecker Patrizier Eberhard von Alen und Johann von Schepenstede ist außergewöhnlich gut dokumentiert."]. The tightly decorated basin sides include two bands of inscription [cf. supra], and two registers of continued arcading; the upper register contains a Majestas Domini, the Virgin Mary and the Apostles with their symbols, a scene of the Resurrection and another of the Harrowing of Hell; the arcade on the lower registed of the basin contains images from the Baptism of Christ, the Parable of the Wise and Foolish virgins and the Passion of Christ. The basin is supported on three kneeling male figures. [NB: we were informed during our visit that the font cover was destroyed in 1942, in WWII].
