Die Stadtpfarrkirche St. Johannes Baptist und Evangelist. (= Peda-Kunstführer Nr. 728) (Passau: Kunstverlag Peda, Passau 2008), cited in the Wikipedia entry for this church [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Johannes_(Dingolfing)] [accessed 30 April 2023]: "Ebenso ist ein spätgotischer Taufstein aus rotem Marmor erhalten, der 1884 von dem ortsansässigen Steinmetzmeister Niedermeier am Sockel überarbeitet und mit neuem Maßwerk versehen wurde. Sowohl der Sockel als auch der Übergangsbereich und das eigentliche Taufbecken sind achteckig ausgeführt. Ursprünglich war der Taufstein am Westportal der Kirche aufgestellt, im Jahr 1976 fand er seinen heutigen Platz nördlich des Altarraumes." There is another baptismal font in this church, an octagonal font of metal decorated with an arcade of trefoiled arches populated with angel figures and demifigures; it appears modern.
