The Evangelische Kirche in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern site [www.kirche-mv.de/Die-St-Georgenkirche.4507.0.html] [accessed 21 April 2018] reports a baptismal font of 1620 with a brass baptismal dish of the 16th century. The font consists of an octagonal basin with a rounded underbowl, raised on a slightlt splaying pedestal base, also octagonal; several of the panels of the basin contain inscriptions [texts not available], others appear to have deeply carved scenes; there is carving also on the rounded underbowl; at the top of the pedestal base is a moulding, while the sides appear to be decorated with geometric motifs. There is no cover present; the 16th-century baptismal dish of brass sits atop the stone basin. [NB: we have no information on the font of the medieval church here].
