Here's the translation -

Sen: Jov: 23 December 1700

Martin Buhler, gardener from Strassburg, with his wife Aurelia and 6 children, namely Hans Jörg, Jacob Martin, Andreas, Margaretha, und Salome, was admitted and accepted as a citizen, therefore they, like other Strassburg residents who have come here, were granted some freedoms.

Hello sylviaelchinger1

Thank you very much for your help

They emigrated from Strasbourg to Heilbronn around December 1700

Did the move to Heilbronn for religious reasons?

Thanks again for your help, it is much appreciated.

Religious or political reasons, it was often one or the other that caused people to move. In this case, both Heilbronn and Strassburg were free imperial cities in the Holy Roman Empire, so perhaps that is why the family retained "some freedoms."
