The Wikipedia entry for this church [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Petri_(Horst/Burweg)#Taufstein] [accessed 9 August 2023] mentions a baptismal font that stood for many years in the town's community centre, was later moved to the Himmelpforten Museum, and finally restored in the church in 1975 ["Der Taufstein könnte noch aus der Bauzeit der Kirche stammen. Er stand viele Jahre im Garten des örtlichen Gemeindehauses und im Museum Himmelpforten und wurde erst 1975 in die Kirche zurückgebracht. "] [NB: the source may be Georg Dehio: Handbuch der Deutschen Kunstdenkmäler. Bremen Niedersachsen. Deutscher Kunstverlag, München / Berlin 1992, S. 761]. No cover present.
