Translate
Can somebody translate this. Me and a friend are trying to figure it out but we cant. The only things we are sure about is „Bem.“ for „Bemerkung“ at the start and „vom 22. November 1927“ at the end of the text.

Transcription needed (Repost)
A few days ago, I shared a birth record from Braunschweig dated November 19, 1723, but it turned out to be a bit confusing. To provide more clarity, I decided to upload the full page.
The person born on that date is my 7th great-grandfather, Jacob Christian Hoffmeister.
Here’s the registry: https://imgur.com/a/mJ3KCSm

Groom's first name help please!
This is from the family register for Wiesenstetten, Hohenzollern, Prussia (present-day Kreis Freudenstadt, Baden-Wüttemberg).
The groom is born 1793 and married 1821 in Wiesenstetten, his parents are Anton Brändle and Franziska Greiner; Bride is Maria Lohmüller, whose parents are Joseph Lohmüller and Franziska Gfrörer.
I'm really having trouble deciphering the groom's given name, and comparing with online indices for the town isn't helping. Nor is the priest's sloppy handwriting (he is replaced a few years later by a priest with wonderful penmanship).
Any ideas appreciated!

From what I can gather he was Jewish (?) and she was catholic, they were married on 19 of Feb 1918. He was born on Feb 9 of 1889 and she was born on the 11th of a month in 1893 - both in Vienna? Is there any further information written in the notes? Thank you in advance for any help!
