[DE] "Der Taufstein besteht aus Stenzelberger Latit. Sechs kleine Säulenschäfte aus schwarz polierter Basaltlava tragen das Becken. Ein schmuckvoller Blattfries umläuft die Kuppa. Der Taufstein ist das einzige Werkstück der Andernacher Bauhütte aus der Bauzeit der Kirche zu Beginn des 13. Jahrhunderts. Im 19. Jahrhundert wurde ein historisierter Deckel hinzugefügt. Der Taufstein stand seither in der Kapelle des Nordwestturms. Mit dem Beginn der Umgestaltung im Inneren des Doms wurde er im März 2018 in das Mittelschiff versetzt. Dort steht er nun im ersten Joch und dient auch als Weihwasserbecken beim Betreten der Kirche. Dazu wurde der Deckel entfernt."

[EN] "The baptismal font is made of Stenzelberger latite. Six small column shafts made of black polished basalt lava carry the basin. A decorative leaf frieze surrounds the Kuppa. The baptismal font is the only workpiece of the Andernach hut from the construction period of the church at the beginning of the 13th century. In the 19th century a historicised lid was added. Since then, the baptismal font has stood in the chapel of the north-west tower. With the beginning of the redesign inside the cathedral, it was moved to the central nave in March 2018. There it now stands in the first yoke and also serves as a holy water basin when entering the church. The lid was removed for this purpose."
