Lübke (1870) notes a Gothic font with figural ornamention in this church. The entry for this church in the German Wikipedia [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Ludgeri_(Münster)] [accessed 8 December 2023] notes and illustrates an octagonal baptismal font made of Baumberg limestone ca. 1500; the basin sides are decorated with biblical scenes; they were damaged in the 1530s during the Anabaptist rule ["Der Grablegung gegenüber befindet sich das um 1500 entstandene Taufbecken in der Form eines achteckigen Pokals, das acht Geschichten aus der Bibel erzählt. Es ist aus Baumberger Kalkstein gefertigt und das älteste noch erhaltene, direkt St. Ludgeri zuzuordnende Kunstwerk, nahm aber während der Herrschaft der Täufer in den 1530er Jahren durch deren Zerstörungswut Schaden"].
