"Witnesses"? on German marriage record
Hello, I was reviewing my great grand father's marriage record and would like to know if the names at the end of the record are witnesses? The first surname in the list appears to be Rufloff. I would like your help in reading the first name as I don't know German script.
My great grandfather was born out of wedlock. If there was another Ruhloff as a witness that name would be critical to my research. Thank you, Kris

This is the second page of a standard civil registration form for a marriage. The first page would list the names, birthdates, place of birth, and parent(s) of the bride and groom. The second page, shown here, lists the witnesses, then at the bottom, the signatures of the bride and groom and two witnesses.
In this case, the groom is Gustav Ruhlof, the bride is Edna Ruhlof, nee [Genert?], the witnesses are Eugen Schwitzky and Robert Quittschreiber.
