Sanctuary
It has not been conclusively clarified what type of baptismal font there was originally in the Frauenkirche. What is certain, however, is that the baptismal font, which had been used since the 19th century, was almost completely destroyed when the church collapsed in 1945. During the 1990's, the decision was made against reconstruction. In the search for a baptismal font from Bähr's time, the baptismal font of the old Freiberg Nikolaikirche, created by sculptor Johann Gottfried Stecher and consecrated in 1754, was found in the Freiberg Mining Museum. Apart from the elaborately designed lid, the stone, which is rather simple and has no figurative decoration, has been decorating the altar room of the Frauenkirche since 2005.
