The groom's name is: Caspar Hartjen.
Here is what is written in the record: ". . . Adolesc. Casparus Hartjen . . ."
The word before the groom's name is a Latin abbreviation "Adolesc." which stands for the Latin word "adolescens" which means unmarried young man or bachelor. Notice on this same page that many of the other grooms have this same word in front of their names. (At first glance it's easy to confuse this Latin abbreviation for the name "Adolf".)
"Casparus" is the Latin form of the name "Caspar".

Thank you. The surname is what I had most trouble with but wanted to be sure of all of it. Happy New year.
