The Evangelische Kirchengemeinde St. Petri Ketzin [www.ev-kirche-ketzin.de/texte/seite.php?id=123086] [accessed 25 May 2014] informs: The present font belongs to the re-building of the church in 1762, and was made by master carpenter Christoph Frentsche in the Rococo style of the time; it serves as support to a brass baptismal dish ['Taufschale'] dated 1662, a gift of churchwarden Lehmann. [NB: we have no information on the baptismal font of the original mid-to-late 12th century church here].
