The entry for this church in Straße der Romanik [https://romanik-strasse-erleben.de/dorfkirche-rohrberg/] [accessed 25 October 2023] reports an origonal baptismal font in it ["Ursprünglicher Taufstein"]. The entry in Geschichtstouren.de [https://geschichtstouren.de/strasse-der-romanik/nordroute/rohrberg-dorfkirche/?L=530] [accessed 25 October 2023] notes and illustrates the baptismal font of the original church here ["das Taufbecken aus der Zeit der Erbauung der Kirche"], as well as a later font of the post-Reformation period ["kurz vor der barocken Umgestaltung der Kirche wird ein neuer Taufstein geweiht"] [NB: perhaps the time of one of the majot renovations of the church in the 18th or 19th century]. The German Wikipedia entry [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorfkirche_Rohrberg] [accessed 25 October 2023] reports a Romanesque baptismal font in it ["Einziger romanischer Ausstattungsgegenstand ist ein Taufstein"], as well as a second font, chalice-shaped and raised on a square base ["Eine Besonderheit ist ein zweites Taufbecken in Kelchform auf einem Würfelkapitell."] Both fonts are noted and illustrated in Raymond Faure [http://www.raymond-faure.com/Strasse_der_Romanik/Rohrberg_Dorfkirche_Innen.html] [accessed 25 October 2023]. It appears from the current photographs [cf. ImagesArea] that the font in use is the medieval one; it is used with a baptismal dish supported by a metal frame atop the stone basin. No cover present.
