The entry for this church in Förderkreis »Entschlossene Kirchen« e.V. [https://www.entschlossene-kirchen.de/kirchen/garitz-dorfkirche/] [accessed 1 November 2023] notes and illustrates a baptismal font in it. The Evangelische Kirchenkreis Zerbst [https://www.kirchenkreis-zerbst.de/] accessed 1 November 2023] reports a baptismal angel and a Romanesque baptismal font restored in 1858 ["ein Taufengel und[...] der romanische Taufstein, der 1858 überarbeitet wurde"]. Licht Ungen [https://www.lichtungen-glasmalerei.de/kirchen/garitz] [accessed 1 November 2023] reports and illustrates a baptismal font of ca.1300, the date when the church is believed to have been built. The font consists of a roughly hemispherical basin decorated with a row of horse-shoe arch-heads below the upper rim, on a round pedestal base decorated with roll mouldings [NB: the present base may have been supplied in the 1858 restoration of the font]. The font is mentioned in Matthias Friske's Mittelalterliche Kirchen in westlichen Fläming und Vorfläming (Berlin: Lukas Verlag, 2007): p. 179.
