Help on deciphering Information on Marriage Record

I need some help on deciphering the information on this Marriage Record for Johann Hofmann 12 Sep 1831. Under his birth date, it has 1.7 1788. Is that day.month or month.day?
What dorf is it as well? it is something Dorf.

Thanks in advance.

Dates in German are always written day.month.year, so in this case July 1st, 1788.

The birth place can be https://www.meyersgaz.org/place/20190004 , a few miles northeast of Hirschaid.

The record also says he is a widower and his previous wife's name is Anna Gredel. I found that marriage was in 1825 and more clearly gives his town of birth as Mistendorf. It also gives his parents names, father is Johann Hofmann but I cannot decipher his mother's name.

Edit to add:

This seems like it must be his baptism record in April 1788 ; his mother's name is more clearly Kunegunda Sauer(in).
