Cath. Meyers birth in Fehmarn, Germany 1803

I started with the beginning and this is part of what I could read-

Catharina Dorothea of Gertrut Magreth Meyers born Wecklings, at this time in Danschendorf , Illegitimate daughter.

___ Wenkdorf? __Lutgenburg born, __vater Johann Weckling_____.

Then there is the rest of the page containing something about Christopher Meyer and finally the witnesses.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. The baptism is the whole page I believe.

Germany, Lutheran Baptisms, Marriages, and Burials, 1500-1971; https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C39D-MJDB?cc=3015626

My additions in bold:

Catharina Dorothea of Gertrut Margreth Meyer[s] born Weckling[s], at this time in Dänschendorf , [Illegitimate] daughter. The child was born in Wentorf beyond Lütgenburg, where she wanted to live with her father Johann Weckling, but where she was not admitted. Her husband has left her a couple of years ago and went to sea (his name is Christopher Meyer). She has had an illegitimate child before in his absence. Now she has declared her husband as the father of the presently born child, since she claims to have been with him in the Sound. However, everything seems to put the falsity of the statement and the illegitimate concubitum beyond doubt.

Comment: The name of Gertrud Margreth is Meyer née Weckling (without ending -s), the s being a genitive sign.
