Described in Evangelischer Pfarrbereich Weißenfels [https://evangelisch-in-weissenfels.de/kirchen/marienkirche/] [accessed 10 July 2023]: "Der schwere Taufstein zeigt im Relief Adam und Eva Sinnbild für die der Erlösung durch die Taufe bedürftigen Menschen. Weiterhin sieht man einen Hirsch, der wie es in Psalm 42 heißt, nach frischem Wasser lechzt, so wie der Psalmbeter nach Gott."
