Scene Description: Source caption: " Stuttgarter Hospitalkirche . Ein Taufstein aus dem Wald. Der umgedrehte Stein war am Sockel festbetoniert – Pfarrer Eberhard Schwarz (re.) beobachtet die Bergung aufmerksam. Foto: factum/Weise. Nach dem Krieg war der Schutt der Hospitalkirche im Sindelfinger Wald verteilt worden – der damalige Revierförster hat das Taufbecken aber gerettet und als Mahnmal im Wald aufgestellt. Jetzt kehrt der Stein an den ursprünglichen Platz in der Hospitalkirche zurück."

An article by Thomas Faltin in the Stuttgarter Zeitung of 12 September 2014 [https://www.stuttgarter-zeitung.de/media.media.b08fff84-5af6-476b-a536-2c66d7378d22.original1024.jpg] [accessed 20 March 2023] informs and illustrated the removal of an early-19th century baptismal font from a nearby forest to the Hospitalkirche of Stuttgart. The baptismal font made of sandstone in 1809: badly damaged in WWII; relegated to forest; restored to the inner courtyard of the Hospitalhof in 2014. According to the same source this had been the only font ever in the Hospitalkirche, as it did not become a parish church until that date [NB: according to other sources it had become parochial after the Reformation; in any case, as a Dominican monastery church it would probably have a font, if not for baptisms for the Easter Saturday rites, as many such did].
