Hufnagel / Gothe marrige in Mühlhausen (Thüringen) takes me to Berkersheim churchbook looking for Johann Nicolaus birth around 1791/1792

[adolphschuler]

In this marrige I have got information from the following information from the archivist in Mühlhausen Marrige record

Johann Nicolaus Hufnagel, a printer, was born in 1791 in Berkersheim near by Frankfurt/Main. I found this information in the marriage record: He was 23 years old, when he married, but I don’t know the exactly day of his birth.
He married Anna Catharina Gothe February the 26th 1815 in Mühlhausen. He died January 12th 1840.
His wife Anna Catharina née Gothe was 23 years old, when she married.

I would be so happy if someone could validate if it really says Berkesheim as I cant find any Hufnagel in the birthrecord: Taufregister 1764-1830

Another "strange" thing that I found in Mühlhausen churchbook is that they have a baby in the same book without a name? Here is the record
I found this when I browsed through the index page for his name "Hufnagel" The index is here of the child: https://www.archion.de/p/d6c9086750/

However this was just a question that I saw now but I am still most eager to find my way to Berkersheim if that is correct based on their marrige record

The marriage tells regarding the groom:

ein Buchdrucker aus Berkersheim bey Hanau

However, that does not necessarily mean that he was born there.
Instead it may simply be his place of residence at the time of this marriage.

The mentioned place is today(!)

[vnagel2004]

The groom‘s father, a deceased Schullehrer / schoolteacher at the time of this marriage, resided in

Holzhausen im Amte Rotheim im Grossherzogthum Hessen

….that is today(!): Burgholzhausen

One part of Burgholzhausen belonged to the church of Seulberg, while the other part belonged to the church of Obereschbach.

You should check those church books, plus the church books of Burgholzhausen.

For Ober-Eschbach a printed "Familienbuch" [family book] exists and the family name "Hufnagel" is present in that book.

Members of the non-profit genealogical society "Hessische Familiengeschichtliche Vereinigung" in Darmstadt have restricted online-access to that book.
May be you should consider to contact them and ask for help regarding your Hufnagel family members.

As an aside and maybe of interest any time in the future:
the schoolteacher Johannes Hufnagel may have been "quite a character..." so to say, according to some impressions based on historical records in the holdings of Hessian State Archive in Marburg / Lahn (nothing of these is online available!!)

(Johannes Hufnagel's name is mentioned)

(here the description only tells "Schulmeister Hufnagel in Enkheim" - which may(!) apply to him as well)

Do you have any idea why this child is born without a name ?

Do you have any idea why this child is born without a name ?

May be the priest simply forgot to note the name.
My best guess would be that this was a little girl, maybe(!) named after her godparent, Maria Sophia.
Please note that at first a Viktoria Angelrodt was recorded as godmother and then the given name was crossed out and revised.
