Scene Description: Source caption: "Weinsberg (Landkreis Heilbronn): Innenansicht der Johanneskirche mit Blick durch das Langhaus nach Osten zum Chor. Die leichte Asymmetrie (v.a. am Bogen vor dem Chorraum) ist kein Fehler der Aufnahme, vielmehr ist der Chorbogen im Verhältnis zu den Seitenwänden der Kirche und den Säulen tatsächlich leicht schräg gebaut."

The donor of this font was probably Pastor Conrad Oesterlin (1596-1668); he registered the first baptism in his new font on 3 December 1967 ["Wahrscheinlich ist Pfarrer Conrad Oesterlin (1596-1668) der Stifter des Taufsteins; ganz bescheiden vermerkt er im Kirchenbuch die erste Taufe auf diesem Taufstein am 3. Dezember 1667"] [NB: source N/A]. The entry for this church in the Evangelische Kirchengemeinde Weinsberg [https://www.kirche-weinsberg.de/johanneskirche] [accessed 13 December 2023] notes the Baroque font decorated with cherubs ["Der barocke Taufstein erinnert mit seinen Puttenverzierungen"]. The present font appears to be made of a reddish-brown marble, and consists of an octagonal base decorated with cherubs in the panels, but at least one of the heads is a wingless putto, rather than a cherub; pronounced sharp moulding at the waste. on a bulbous octagonal pedestal base on the sides of which four putto heads alternate with an equal number of large foliage motifs; moulded square lower base. No cover present. [NB: we have no information on the font of the medieval church here].
