The basin of the baptismal font was removed from the church in one of the renovations, used outside as a planter until it was restored to its liturgical use inside the church on a new granite base; the round basin has a tapering underbowl abd appears totally plain; the new base is conical, of the Paradise font Gotland design, with roll moulding atop. No cover present. There is also a later font made of artificial stone ca. 1900 in the Kunstanstalt für Kirchenschmuck in Berlin; it costed 117 marks at the time; its metal baptismal dish made in 1914 is busily decorated with all kinds of motifs and symbols. This modern font is located inside the chancel, in the southeast corner.
