The entry for this church in the Evangelische Lukas Gemeinde Lampertheim [https://www.lukasgemeinde-lampertheim.de/lukasgemeinde/domkirche] [accessed 10 July 2023] reports that the baptismal font here was carved out of an early capital ["Aus dem Kapitell einer weiteren Säule wurde der Taufstein gestaltet"] [cf. ImagesArea]. [NB: we have not been able to confirm whether or not this stone is still in the Domkirche, nor whether it is or was used as baptismal font -- the Domkirche is mid-19th century].
