There's not really a difference. A witness and a godparent are the same thing.

Ok I know in Polish Catholic baptisms that the witnesses did just that and the Godparents accepted the additional responsibility of the child's religious well-being and soul. There is no distinction then here?
Can I also get a little help with the translation of this entry so I can use it as a template for a little more research I am doing on the page?
Thank you.

There's not a difference to my knowledge. I'm not an expert on Lutheran religion. If there is such a difference I have never once seen it mentioned or any distinction made among those listed as faddere.
