A Gothic baptismal font made of Londorfer basalt lava is reported as being located in the vicarage courtyard in the Kunstdenkmäler im Grossherzogthum Hessen: Inventarisirung und beschreibende Darstellung der Werke der Architektur, Plastik, Malerei und des Kunstgewerbes bis zum Schluss des XVIII. Jahrhunderts, durch eine im Auftrag Seiner Königlichen Hoheit des Grossherzogs zu diesem Zweck bestellte Kommission. Provinz Oberhessen, Kreis Friedberg, by Dr. Rudolf Adami (1895) [https://digi.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/diglit/kdgh] [accessed 23 July 2023]. The font is an octagonal roughly hemispherical tub with a rounded underbowl; it is decorated below the rim with a row of [24?] pointed arches, and it is now [2023] back inside the church; no cover present. The entry for this church in Wikipedia [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evangelische_Kirche_Nieder-Weisel] [accessed 23 July 2023] [after Klar: Geschichte des Dorfes Nieder-Weisel in der Wetterau. 1953, S. 176] describes two baptismal fonts in it: one is a medieval octagonal font donated in 1890 [cf. supra] [cf. BSI entry for Nieder-Weisel No. 2 for the font in the other church in Nieder-Weisel]
