Hi Kent,
Maÿer is likely the minister who buried Sofie (Knapp) Zimmern.
Look at this same column in entry 424 above. In this entry is says: Dean Maÿer for Mühlhäußen.
So we know that Maÿer is a dean and it appears that he is substituting for someone named Mühlhäußen.
Durlach is approximately 11 miles south of Graben. Here is the link from Meyers Gazetteer: https://www.meyersgaz.org/place/10385050
So, Dean Maÿer from Durlach is likely filling in for Mühlhäußen.
Also look in this same column in entries 422 and 423 where the name "Rapp" is recorded, the same as in your record.
Note however that in your record "Rapp" is written in a different hand and a darker ink, almost as if he is signing off on the entire page at a later date.

Kent, did you also look for the death records of pastor Zimmern's mother (died in fall 1872 in Graben) and his oldest son Sigmund (died 1870 in Graben)?

Ulrich Neitzel No I have not looked for those records but now you mention it I will find them today. Thanks for the reminder.
FYI The marriage record for Sophia Knapp 21 January 1868 in Graben on FS is unreadable. It looks like the camera was shaking. So I went to Archion and found the same document, screen shot it and put it up for the Community to translate. I got a message back from the "Image Moderator" that the document was not allowed. I think it is because Karlsruhe Archive is imprinted across the face of the document.
Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks for all you do!!!
