Reading assistance requested - name, occupation and location on 1596 very legible marriage record

[netengler]

Hello,

Can anyone please help with translating some information on the linked marriage record (5th entry on page 31a, right side) dated 17 May 1596 in Wildberg, Württemberg? The groom is Hans, son of Abraham Schlosser. The bride is Susanna, daughter of Ulrich TBD.

My questions are:

• Does the 'M' after Susanna mean 'Marie' or 'Maria' as in Susanna Marie/Maria? Or does the 'M' go with the father's name"
• What is the bride's father's surname? It looks like Künpels to me, but I don't think that is correct.
• Does the word after the bride's father's surname refer to his occupation? It looks like 'pfarher' which could (?) be a different spelling of 'pfarrer'. Could he have been a minister?
• The bride's father's location looks like 'Deckenpfenud or Deckenpfrund'. There is a Deckenpfronn near Wildberg. Would that be the place?

Many thanks in advance!

The "M" means "Magister". He is Pfarrer and Magister (pastor and master).
Pfarrherr, I think it is "parish priest".

Thanks so much sruecker, okp and msiegle! Your expertise and kindness is much appreciated!

M = Latin: Magister (correct declination here: Magistri) …..Ulrici Küngels…..

….tells that the bride‘s father obtained a master‘s degree of theology

….and yes, Pfarrherr means minister

Ah, thank you vnagel2004! That helps. I was thinking Magistrate, like an officer of the law.

You're welcome, Nancy. I thought some additional clarification wouldn't hurt.

Kind regards, Vera
