The Evangelisches Gruppenpfarramt entry for this church [https://www.ev-denzlingen.de/kirchen-khg-und-karl-hoefflin/taufsteine/] [accessed 21 December 2022] informs about two baptismal fonts related to this church; the present medieval font was reinstalled in the church in the 1960-1961 renovations after a century spent serving as a flower planter outside the church of nearby Leiselheim; during its absence a neo-Gothic font was installed in Denzlingen St. Heorgkirche; this neo-Gothic font was removed and can now be seen in the Karl-Höfflin-Gemeindehaus. The medieval font appears monolithic, a roughly hemispherical basin on a circular pedestal base; there are four protrusions set at 90-degree angles on the basin sides, irregular, perhaps damaged or eroded from their original shape; otherwise the fonts is plain; there appears to be a large repair made with inserted stone on the side of the basin. There is no font cover in use but the basin has a large metal insert to hols the baptismal water.
