    Here's the translation -

    The journeyman from Beckenschlag Carl Friedr[ich] Grischow, legitimate eldest son of Gottfried Grischow, worker in Lichtenfelde, was married on 1 March to his affianced bride Dorothea Carolina Ewald, after proclamations on the Sundays Sept, Sexua, and Estomili. He is 24. She is 27 years old.

    Note on church calendar - Septuagesima is 9 weeks before Easter, Sexuagesima is 8 weeks before Easter, and Estomili (also called Quinquagesima) is 7 weeks before Easter.

    I believe "Beckenschläger" is his occupation (boilersmith or coppersmith), not a location.

    OK, I'll go with that. And yet there is a place called Backenschlag - https://www.meyersgaz.org/place/10123083
