Baptismal font consisting of a roughly cylindrical basin decorated with a row of floral or foliage motifs, mainly lillies, in deeply carved panels all around its sides; resting on a short and plain polygonal base; it has no cover now but retains one of the metal staples of an old cover locking system. The font is noted as being on display in the museum at Rothenburg ob der Tauber. A modern font is now in the Windelsbach church, by the north side of the chancel; it may have been introduced with the 18th-century renovation of the church.
