Napoleon Rules Europe
In the wars after the French Revolution in 1789, Napoleon, the emperor of the French, rose to be the ruler of the European continent. An enduring result of his policy was a new order of the southwestern German political world. When the French Revolution threatened to be exported throughout Europe in 1792, Baden joined forces against France. Baden's countryside was devastated in the ensuing battles. In 1796, the margrave was compelled to pay an indemnity and to cede his territories on the left bank of the Rhine to France. Fortune, however, soon returned to his side. (Wikipedia)

T. L Sachs, pastor
Note: The Graben Pastor in 1811 was Ludwig Christian Sachs who served between 1808 and 1814. He filled out this death record and was responsible for the funeral and burial of 60 year old Katherina Barbara Nichtern.
Notes: In the line immediately after Katharina Barbara's name, the secondword is: "Beÿsassen". The word can also be spelled "Beisassen". Thode defines "Beisass(e)" as: "(rental) inhabitant without citizenship". I translated this simply has: non-citizen.
Here is the link to an article from the German Wikipedia which should provide more insight for the word "Beisasse": https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beisasse Use your browser's translate function to translate to English. After the line about her age, the next line is: "Krankheit: Auszehrung." = Illness: consumption/tuberculosis.
Yes, the word for pastor "Pfarrer" is abbreviated.
Beisasse A non- resident (also resident, assessor , resident , protective relative, protection , back seat ) is a citizen citizen of a city with restricted citizenship . The difference between citizens and residents developed in medieval town law and existed until the 19th century, in Switzerland until the complete revision of the federal constitution in 1874. [1]
Spouses were originally the lowest social class in a village. They were only tolerated in the community. If they somehow became a burden, they had to move away. [2]
As a rule, only those who were the son of a citizen or had a certain amount of property could become a full citizen of a city. Often only members of certain professions, for example to craftspeople capable of exercise guilds, and certain denominations were allowed citizenship. In Augsburg, for example, assessors were not allowed to acquire real estate or to exercise a guild trade, since admission to a craft corporation, but also to the gentleman's or merchant's room, required citizenship. [3] Associated with civil rights was civil duty citizen's , such as tax and official duties, as well as taking a oath .
An aside was also subject to the protection of the city charter, but had to pay an attendance fee for “protection and umbrella”. As a rule, residents were subject to municipal jurisdiction, but were excluded from essential political rights, such as representation in the council . The epitome of the rights granted to them is the right to be seated, their constitutional charter is the person standing order, and the fee to be paid is the person's allowance. As a pledge for the observance of his obligations, the assassin used to take the advisor's oath.
The constitutional documents of the individual German states issued after 1848 almost entirely the difference between actual citizens citizens eliminated and , as had already happened in individual states, for example in Baden protected through the law of 1831. In Switzerland, the difference between full citizens and residents or residents still finds in the civil parish practical application . There is hardly a community there that does not contain a greater or lesser number of settled people in addition to the actual community members. (German Wikipedia)
