The present font is noted and illustrated in Kusch (1982); it is a block of granite that was discovered during the installation of heating inside the church in 1936, found semi-buried in clay and water beneath the east end, just over the south wall of the nave; the lower end of the font was damaged in the retrieval process. It was apparently used as a holy-water stoup until its burial, whenever that was, but was installed as baptismal font in the 1966 renovation of the church. The object is roughly rectangular with rounded angles, the sides decorated with crude carvings: large beaded Latin cross, floral motifs looking like stylised lillies to the sides of it, one with a bird on it; on one side a large rooster-like bird faces a 6-point star. The upper part of the basin appears to be divided: one larger basin with one or two [surface is damaged] smaller ones. Local information has that the stone was originally a Slavic sacrificial stone for pagan rites, but was later converted into a baptismal font, and a smaller vessel with similar symbols was originally located in nearby Dersewitz [or Штольпе / Stolpe?], but was moved to the Kulturhistorische Museum in Stralsund; the motifs used on the decoration on the sides of this vessel are practically identical to those on the Krien object, likely executed by the same hand.
