Font Notes:
Click to view
The present font in this church dates, like the pulpit, to 1723, both the work of wood carver Hans Broder and painter Franz Rose, from Stralsund. It consists of a quatrefoil-shaped upper part [not strictly a basin since it is just a support for the baptismal dish], a stem which incorporates a Baptism of Christ in the Jordan, and a very ornate quatrefoil-shaped lower base. [NB: we have no information on the font of the original church here].
