More Information
The bronze font was placed in the western part of the nave until the 17th century and was then moved to the chapel in 1653.

Its donator Wilbernus is depicted in the dedication image at the feet of Holy Mary.

Possibly he is identical to the famous Wilbrand of Oldenburg, who has been proven as the Cathedral´s provost into the early 1320s.

Four kneeling figures, symbolizing the four rivers of paradise, support the font´s kettle.
