There are two fonts in this church: a baptismal of the 1824 re-building of the church, now the font in use, and an earlier one, of the16th-century; the earlier font is the basin recovered from its use as flower pot in the churchyard; it appears to be octagonal with broad trefoiled arches on the sides; the inner sides of the basin are carved in a concave ribbing pattern; it is now raised on a square replacement base and located next to the later font of 1824. A set of digital photographs in Wikimedia show the church details and the two fonts inside [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Interior_of_St._Petri_und_Pauli_Reinsdorf_(Thüringen)] [accessed 16 November 2025]
