Baptismal font of stone consisting of a roughly hemispherical basin decorated with a vine of scrolls and floral motifs all around the upper basin side, raised on a modern plain cylindrical pedestal. There is cobsiderable damage to the upper rim of the basin, obviously related to the metal staples of an old cover. The present font cover, a low brass dome, is modern. The nearby St.-Bonifatius-Kirche (Roman Catholic ), in Gartenstraße, is early 20th-century and has a modern font.
