Scene Description: Source caption: "Von hier ging es in Meinerings Garten, denn hier steht ein Becken aus Sandstein, das einem Taufbecken ähnelt. Hier wird vermutet, dass es sich um das ehemalige Taufbecken aus der früheren Kapelle handelt. Einige der Teilnehmenden fanden den alten Taufstein schöner als den, der in der Antoniuskirche steht."

An entry in Heimatverein Engden [https://www.heimatverein-schuettorf.de/engden/] [accessed 10 August 2023] relates a 10 June 2019 visit that reached the Meinering's garden, in which is a vessel believed to have been the baptismal font of the demolished chapel that was replaced in 1899 by the present church; a comment was made about liking this font better than the one introduced in the new church in 1899 ["Von hier ging es in Meinerings Garten, denn hier steht ein Becken aus Sandstein, das einem Taufbecken ähnelt. Hier wird vermutet, dass es sich um das ehemalige Taufbecken aus der früheren Kapelle handelt. Einige der Teilnehmenden fanden den alten Taufstein schöner als den, der in der Antoniuskirche steht."] The present font in the re-built church is modern, presumably of 1899.
