The entry for this church in the German Wikipedia
reports a baptismal font made from Gotland limestone around 1240; the basin is decorated with four heads sai to represent the rivers of Paradise: Pishon , Gihon , Tigris , and Euphrates; said to be one of the oldest baptismal fonts imported from Gotland in the 13th century: "Der Taufstein wurde um 1240 aus Kalk von Gotland gefertigt. Seine vier Köpfe verkörpern die Paradiesflüsse Pischon, Gihon, Tigris und Euphrat. Unter den zahlreichen Taufsteinen, die im 13. Jh. aus Gotland eingeführt wurden, handelt es sich hier wohl um das älteste Exemplar".
