Noted in Mathias Hensch's Die verschwundene Kirche St. Martin in Ermhof. Ein Beitrag zur mittelalterlichen Geschichte der Frankenalb [https://www.academia.edu/61635013/Die_verschwundene_Kirche_St_Martin_in_Ermhof_Ein_Beitrag_zur_mittelalterlichen_Geschichte_der_Frankenalb] [accessed 9 July 2023]. A note from Rombea of 13 April 2020 [https://www.komoot.de/highlight/1221494] [accessed 9 July 2023] reports that the Romanesque baptismal font of the demolished church of St Martin in Ermhof was taken to the parish church of Neukirchen [the Evangelisch-Lutherische St. Peter und Paul Kirche, Neukirchen] and set on altar slabs also from the Ermhof church ["Altarplatten übernahm die evangelische Pfarrei Neukirchen, auf einer ruht der romanische Taufstein"]. The Ermhof font is noted and illustrated in its new home in the Neukirchen parish web site [https://www.neukirchen-evangelisch.de/kirchen-im-gemeindegebiet] [accessed 9 July 2023]: the font, located in the northeast area of the nave, consists of a roughly hemispherical basin on a rather irregular round-to-square pedestal base, said to be a fragment of a Gothic capital; the stone on which it stands may be one of the "Alterplatten" noted above ["Interessant ist in unserer Kirche der Taufstein. Er besteht aus einer romanischen Taufschale, die auf das Bruchstück eines gotischen Säulenkapitells gehoben wurde. Die Schale ist um 1150 in der selben Feinarbeit aus Stein gefertigt worden wie das Fundament unserer Kirche."] No cover present.
