Ulrich Neitzel Sorry, I only gave you half of the document. I'm not used to seeing the entry going all the way across the page. The marriage date is 21 January 1868. The marriage was also entered into the Graben records with the same date. Here is the full entry:

Ulrich Neitzel

My comments:

Both spouses are entered as "single", although we know that Heinrich Zimmern was a widower at that time.

The father of the groom and both parents of the bride were deceased as indicated by the crosses before their names.

The bride's father Albert Knapp was a certain celebrity. He was not only a pastor but also a poet and the founder of the first animal protection organization in Germany (see Wikipedia in English: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Knapp, or in more detail (including a picture of him) in German: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Knapp).

The bride's mother came from a Thuringian noble family (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beulwitz_(Adelsgeschlecht)).
