[NB: we have no information on whether or not the chapel had a baptismal function and a font. At present the old chapel has been renovated and it is being planned as in part as a baptistery ["Nach der Restaurierung soll sie wieder stärker in das Gemeindeleben des Ev. Kirchspiels einbezogen werden. Gedacht ist an die Nutzung als Trau- und Taufkapelle, für musikalische Veranstaltungen in kleinerem Rahmen und anderes. Der sogenannte Sakristeianbau wird gegenwärtig schon für Gemeindeversammlungen genutzt."] [source: Evangelische Kirchengemeind Quedlinburg [www.kirchequedlinburg.de/Orte/johanniskirche.php?navanchor=1210005] [accessed 25 May 2014]]] -- [not to be mistaken with St. Johannis, Evangelical Church, located across the street from the chapel, a modern parish church of the early-20th century]
