Scene Description: Source caption: "Der Taufstein (gestiftet von Familie Adolf Hofmann) besteht aus einer Säule aus heimischen Basalt [...] Oben in die exakt geschliffene Mulde passt die alte Leuner Taufschale, die 1714 renoviert wurde, mit lateinischer Inschrift mit folgendem Wortlaut „Diese Vase, bestimmt zum Gebrauch der Heiligen Taufe, hat der Johann Philip Baygard von Gottes Gnaden bestallter Pfarrer in Leun dafür gesorgt, dass sie renoviert wurde.“ In einer zweiten lateinischen Inschrift wurden zehn Buchstaben hervorgehoben, die nach altem Brauch die Jahreszahl 1714 in römischen Zahlen ergibt. Die versteckten Jahreszahl lautet „Das Blut Jesu hat alle Sünden weggewischt“ (1. Joh 1,7)." -- modern baptismal font in the Evangelische Kirche in Leun

Jahrhunderts frei [https://www.uni-marburg.de/de/fb06/aktuelles/nachrichten/mittelalterliche-kirche-endete-im-feuer] [accessed 3 July 2023] reports that remains of a 13th or 147th-century sandstone altar or baptismal font were excavated in the site of the disappeared Martinskirche in 1971, 2015 and 2016.
