Unable to decipher name of place on marriage record
The name of the place I'm trying to decipher is in the second column under "Ortshaft" in the attached file. This marriage took place in Friedburg in Upper Austria. It looks like the village name begins with a "B" and then possibly "auernwind," but I can find no village in the vicinity of Friedburg that matches those letters. Under "Name des Brautigam" it reads: "Martin Feichtinger, xx Wegmacher in xxxxxxxxx." Martin Feichtinger is my gr-gr-grandfather. I'm trying to find out where he came from so that I can locate his birth/baptism records. He married Agnes Bachmeier from the village of Antiesenhofen in Upper Austria. Thank you. This record is located at:

The place as written both places in the record is Bauernwies. Since the parish of his wife's hometown Antiesenhofen is not Friedburg-Lengau (the parish of Antiesenhofen is Antiesenhofen), the groom's hometown Bauernwies is likely in the parish of Friedburg-Lengau.

Thanks to @Charlotte Noelle Champenois identifying the place as Bauernweis, here is a link to a map that shows you where Bauernwies is located:
Bauernweis should be in the middle of the map. Friedburg is to the north about 7 inches on the map itself.

With the marriage record open, I clicked on the blue hyperlinked "Friedburg-Lengau" at the top of the page and then on "mapire" on the old map of the record listings. Scrolling down a little to click on the gray "Full screen" button under that map and then moving it around a bit shows this:
Notice Friedburg(-Lengau) at the top and Bauernwies near the bottom of the snippet. Bauernwies is much closer to Friedburg-Lengau parish than to the next parishes over (Stullerding and Straßwalchen), so I would expect him to be in Friedburg-Lengau.

Thanks, Charlotte and Robert. I'm currently looking for the baptism records for Bauernwies (which no longer appears to exist as a village/place today ... I think it's been sucked into the town of Friedburg). No luck so far, which is disappointing because I so wanted to find out who his parents were. There are quite a few Feichtingers listed in the baptismal records for Lengau, which is another village close by. Interestingly, most of them are illegitimate Feichtingers born in the same house (Lengau #1). I'm not sure what significance to put on that.
