Help with reading birthplace in old German script
On family tree passed through the generations I am trying to decipher the place of birth of Joannes
Neysser. The detail is in the small jpeg and I have included the entire page with the hope that helps with determining the old German script. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

His grandfather was from Kesternich and was an art painter
His father was also an art (artist) painter but it does not list a place
These types of painters often traveled around to find jobs in Castles and/or churches
I am not sure, but Johannes NEUSSER could have been born in Bernburg
His wife Margaretha was from Billigheim
I checked Meyersgaz and could not find any place ending with "burg" close to Billigheim.
I suggest for Robert Sealy to take a look at this also. He is very good in finding these old places.

Thank you for your input and the help This Johannes Neysser has the ID of GWH9-XCR, his father Johann Anton was born in Sternberk and his Grandfather and Great Grandfather were born in Neutitschein, present day Novy Jicin, Moravia, Czech. All of their birth, marriage, and death records have been located and sourced. His child Anna Maria was born in Braunau in Bavaria. His other children were born in Soultz, Haut Rhin. His wife Margaretha died in Billigheim. I am trying to determine his birth place.
