INFORMATION

FontID: 19344MAR
Church/Chapel: Evangelisch-Lutherische Pfarrkirche St. Matthäus
Church Patron Saints: St. Matthew
Church Location: Kirchplatz 1, 97348 Markt Einersheim, Germany
Country Name: Germany
Location: Unterfranken, Bayern
Directions to Site: Located by the Steigerwald forest
Font Location in Church: Inside the church, at the E end of the nave
Date: ca. 1627?
Century and Period: 17th century, Renaissance
Church Notes: a church here may have existed by the mid-8thC; Romanesque church documented before 1300; present church is chiefly early-17thC
Baptismal font of painted sandstone, probably from the main re-building of this church in the early-17th century; it is chalice-shaped, with a wide band bearing an inscription in German all around the basin, the underbowl decorated with a ribbed pattern; roll moulding at the centre ring; conical splaying base decorated on the sides and also painted. There is no cover proper but a modern metal baptismal dish has been fitted at the top; the original circumference is still visible but cement or similar has been used to narrow the inner diameter of the basin. Apparently a small wooden vessel that has survived was used in its instead between 1728 and 1869. The date 1627 is said to be rendered in Roman numerals as a chronogram among the text of the inscription [NB: another such on the font at Stolberg? -- PROBLEM WITH THIS CROSS-REFERENCE: FONT WITH CRONOGRAM DOES NOT MATCH THE 1599 FONT AT STOLBERG ST MARTIN's-- Like the baptismal font at Markt Einersheim, in Bavaria, this font is said to have a chronogram renedered in the inscription that appears on the basin side; the chronogram is 1594, supposedly the date of the font. : hIC ILLe fons noXa et sorDe graVatos CVIVs eLVta DeI VoCe repVrgat aqVa (= DDCCCCLLLXVVVVVVVIIII = Dies ist der Brunnen, dessen Wasser, durch Gottes Wort entsühnt, alle mit Schuld und Schmutz Beladenen reinigt.) -- TO BE RESOLVED].
