The Evangelische Kirchengemeinde Kohlberg [https://www.ev-kirche-kohlberg.de/die-kohlberger-kirche/einrichtungen] [accessed 13 October 2022], with text from "Nummer 6 des Jusi-Blättle, dem Mitteilungsblatt der Gemeinde Kohlberg, vom 11. Februar 2011", refers to three baptismal fonts of this type: Kohlberg (said to be the oldest), Oberlenningen, Bissingen/Teck and Neckartailfingen: "In unserem Landkreisgibt es noch drei weitere aufsteine dieser Art (Oberlenningen, Bissingen/Teck und Neckartailfingen), wobei der Kohlberger Taufstein als der Älteste unseres Landkreises gilt."]. This same source reports that there are two fonts now in the church: one, by the pulpit, used for baptisms, and the medieval one, formerly outside the church, but now restored and brought into the church, by the back entranceway: "Ganz herzlich danken wir Herrn Schaich für seine ehrenamtliche qualifizierte Arbeit. Ebenfalls seinem Bruder Rainer Schaich für die ehrenamtliche Mithilfe beim sicheren Transport und Stellen des Steines in der Kirche." Another entry, dated 25 August 2018 in the same source [https://www.ev-kirche-kohlberg.de/die-kohlberger-kirche] [accessed 13 October 2022] reports a Romanesque baptismal font restored to the church: "romanischer Taufstein. Dieser Taufstein zählt übrigens zu den ältesten Steinmetzarbeiten im Kreis und zeichnet sich durch seine Größe und die halbkugelige, ausgehöhlte Form aus und ist ein Hinweis darauf, dass man Täuflinge früher im Sinne der Taufe ganz untertauchte und so buchstäblich „aus der Taufe hob“."
