The entry for this church in the Ossendorfer Schriftenreihe Heft Nr. 15 (Erstdruck: Januar 2015), Ossendorfer Kirchengeschichte [https://www.ossendorf.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Heft-15-Kirchengeschichte.pdf] [accessed 27 December 2022] reports and illustrates a Romanesque baptismal font and a holy-water stoup, both 12th-century, moved from the earlier church demlished in 1904 to the new building: "Aus der alten Kirche wurden übernommen: der romanische Taufstein aus dem 12.Jahrhundert, die Säule welche den Turm mit der Kirche verbindet, das Weihwasserbecken". The supposed(?) stoup consists of a round tapering basin on a broad circular base and a round-to-square lower base; only decoration appears to be a pair of mouldings, one at each end of the stem of the base. [cf. BSI entry for Ossendorf No. 1 for a medieval font also from the same church]
