Font Notes:
The entry for this church in the Catholic Diocese of Fulda's site [https://www.bistum-fulda.de/simmershausen/Ueber.php] [accessed 20 November 2022] reports a baptismal font bearing the date 1579 located by St Killian's altar: "Ein Taufstein mit der Jahreszahl 1579 steht links neben dem Kilianaltar." The font consists of a tapering round basin with an octagonal underbowl, raised on an octagonal pedestal base and an octagonal-to-round lower base; the basin has carved on it the date 1579 between several sets of initials(?), and has two mouldings all around; the underbowl has varied motifs on its panels; the pedestal base has a niche on each side houisng a motif or symbol, and the octagonal-to-round lower base is decorated with encircled wheels and rosettes, as well as two rope mouldings. The round wooden cover appears modern.
