Drake (2002) lists a font at Roden in group Hage A.a. Type I, of the Bentheim School [listed in this group are the fints at: Berum (F), Forlitz-B[l]aukirchen, Hage, Kappeln, Keitum, Ohne, Roden, Westochtersum and Wesuwe). The font at the now joint parish of Forlitz-Blaukirchen appears to have been the original font of the medieval parish church of Forlitz; it is a Bentheimer type [cf. supra]. The font consists of a roughly cylindrical basin decorated with a band of rather geometric vine sandwiched between two double mouldings, with a band of fan-palmette below; characteristic round-to-square pedestal base with four couchant-regardant lions set at 90-degree angles of a central stem. Some damage apparent, especially to the heads of the lions; also a large repair patch on the upper rim and side of the basin. The soft sandstone is otherwise eroded as expected, as the font must have neen exposed to the elements following the Reformation. Wooden cover consisting of round and flat platform on which a turned central pivot with four scroll ribs at 90 degree angles; brightly painted red and blue.
