Pastor Johann Jacob Ritter G3HJ-Q5V was born 28 August 1726 in Durlach, Baden, Germany. His parents may well be Johann Adam Ritter 96JN-9ZD 1697-1758 and Catharina Barbara Wagner Zenger GSHJ-13M1700-1770.
The marriage record for J. J. Ritter says his father is Mr. Johann Jacob Ritter citizen and baker at Durlach. This is a discrepency from above. Pastor Ritter in the Graben records signs his entries as J. J. Ritter.
In 1751 J. J. Ritter was a deacon in Durlach and from 1753 - 1756 he was a pastor in Teutschneureut, Baden, Germany. He served as pastor in Graben from 1758-1798 or 40 plus years. He died in 31 August 1798 in Graben.
J. J. Ritter served in Teutschneureut from 1753 - 1757. J. J. Ritter struck up a relationship with Johann Jacob Roller's daughter, Susanna, and married her 25 Feb 1755 in Durlach. Susanna Magdalena Catharina Roller's marriage record says she is the daughter of
Mr. Johann Friedrich Roller. This is a discrepency.
Teutschneureut (Teutsch-Neureuth)
Teutschneureut (Teutsch-Neureuth) represents the original core of the present-day Karlsruhe district of Neureut. The
name originated when Welschneureut was founded immediately to the
southwest in 1699 to distinguish it from the "Welschneureutern". It is
in the
western part of Karlsruhe. (https://ka.stadtwiki.net/Teutschneureut)
Teutsch means the nowadays common designation "German".
Teutschneureut is also called Neureut-Nord or Teutsch-Neureuth. It is 14 minutes or 16 km southwest of Graben or 10 miles southwest.

Unfortunately I can't fully read the remark under the name. The underlined word seems to be Eingeschikt = sent in. Maybe another community member can help.
Translation of the entry:
Born on the 13 October [1732] between 12 and 1 p.m. and baptized 15 [October]
Susanna Magdalena Catharina
Parents: Johann Friederich Roller, pastor; Eva Christina
Baptismal sponsors: Mr. Johann Philipp Lindemann, pastor in Spöck, with wife Sara Susanna (marriage 11 Aug 1722 in Spöck, b 23 April 1697, same parents as below, Sara's last name is Machunettus) Mr. Johann Philipp Lindemann, pastor in Bettberg, with wife Carolina Magdalena (marriage 21 Mar 1730 in Karlsruhe, birth 27 Mar 1703, parents: Father with same name 9VL9-7R8 , mother Annä Evä in Spöck. 9VL9-FVX Carolina Magdalena Machunettus, Annä ) Johann Georg Krüger, innkeeper at the sign of the crown and baker in Spöck, and his wife Catharina Barbara
My Comments:It is striking that two of the sponsors have the same name and the same occupation (pastor). I suspect that these are father and son. You state that the mother Eva Christina, Johann Friederich Roller's wife, also is born Lindemann. So probably we have here another case where husband, father and brother are pastors.
Note that for the pastors the title is H[err] and their spouses are called in Latin uxor, whereas for the third sponsor there is no Herr and his spouse is the usual Ehefrau = wife.
The occupation of Johann Georg Krüger is in German Weißbeker, literally white baker, meaning that he produced bread and cake from white flour (wheat).
Bettberg is about 100 km further south.
one addition: I think some of the letters after Eingeschikt could be a date: ʘ.II.p. Epi_? = sunday II. post Epi__? = 2nd sunday after Epiphany? A circle with a dot in the middle is a symbol for sunday, see https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Week_Day_Symbols

On 25 February [1755] were married here by T.

(Stein had 1 protestant church)
Comments: Councilor Bürcklin also introduced J. J. Ritter to the Graben congregation on March 6, 1758. There is an interesting website listing all pastors of Teutschneureut here. Note that also the son of Johann Friedrich Roller, Gottlieb Friedrich Roller, is listed as pastor in this parish 1761-1765. Thank you Ulrich!
Kent: We now have some amazing, new information from this document:
1. J. J. Ritter's father, Mr. Johann Jacob Ritter was a citizen and baker in Durlach. This does not fit with the birth record above. There is a Johann Jacob Ritter who married Maria Elisabetha in Durlach in 1694.
2. Susanna Magdalena's father was a pastor in Stein. Susanna's father was a pastor, she married a pastor and her brother was a pastor. Her marriage was in Durlach.

In the year 1757, November 4th I received from my most gracious Prince and Lord the vocation from Teutsch-Neureuth, where I stood for just over 4 years, here to Graben. Laetare Sunday, 5 March 1758, I held my farewell sermon, and arrived here the following day March 6th.

Laetare Sunday (/liːˈtɛːri/ or /lʌɪˈtɑːri/)[1] is the fourth Sunday in the season of Lent, in the Western Christian liturgical calendar. Traditionally, this Sunday has been a day of celebration, within the austere period of Lent. This Sunday gets its name from the first few words (incipit) of the traditional Latin entrance (Introit) for the Mass of the day. "Laetare Jerusalem" ("Rejoice, O Jerusalem") is Latin from Isaiah 66:10. (Wikipedia)
Quasimodogeniti is the historic name for the second Sunday of Easter. The name comes from the Latin text of the day’s historic introit, which begins with the phrase quasi modo geniti infantes (English: as newborn babes). The introit in turn is based on 1 Peter 2:2-3, which reads: “Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation—if indeed. (Allthehousehold.com)

After the death of the blessed Mr. Pastor Ritter here, the following was registered by order of the "Specialats" by Pastor Heß of Hochstetten.
Mr. Johan Jacob Ritter, pastor here, age 72 years, 4 days.
Here is a transcription of the main part of the record:
Nach dem Absterben des seelig Herrn Pfarrers Ritters alhier, wurde auf befehl des Specialats, nachfolgendes von Pfarrer Heß von Hochstetten eingetragen.
Herr Johan Jacob Ritter, Pfarrer dahier, alt 72. Jahr, 4 Tag.
My comment: Hochstetten is approximately 3 miles southwest of Graben: https://www.meyersgaz.org/place/10807028
Robert Seal Note and Question: Hi Kent,
The word "Specialat" is new to me and I haven't been able to find a translation of it in any of the usual places. Google Translate and Deepl are unable to translate.
But the following link shows that the word existed at some point in time and in the areas of Durlach and Karlsruhe close to Graben and Hochstetten: https://www.deutsche-digitale-bibliothek.de/item/U4GQH2P4EDNXBOTDWZGTKNRI6K4I53QM
The title "Combinierung des Specialats Durlach mit dem Specialat in Karlsruhe" translates as: Combination of the Specialat Durlach with the Specialat in Karlsruhe. This archival record, which might have given insight into what a "Specialat" is, unfortunately is not available online. (in the USA)
Ulrich Neitzel Answer:
The Specialat was an ecclesiastical administrative unit of the Protestant Church in Baden at the end of the
18th and in the 19th century. The division broadly followed the division of the administrative districts of the state. At the head of a Specialat was usually a superintendent. translated from German Wikipedia: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spezialat Note that Pastor Bürcklin had the title "Special und Kirchenrath"; he was apparently the head of the Specialat.
Kent Note: Thank you both for working on the word "Specialat." I'm sure having the head of the church "register" or write the written record of your funeral was a great honor. I am also impressed with the work done by pastor Ritter over a long period of time. You can see the last entry that J.J. Ritter made before his death. His handwriting is completely different than the day of his death and afterwards. The next pastor who wrote J. J. Ritter's entry was named Gottlieb Bernhard Fecht. He served in Graben from 1798-1808

But the following link shows that the word existed at some point in time and in the areas of Durlach and Karlsruhe close to Graben and Hochstetten: https://www.deutsche-digitale-bibliothek.de/item/U4GQH2P4EDNXBOTDWZGTKNRI6K4I53QM
The title "Combinierung des Specialats Durlach mit dem Specialat in Karlsruhe" translates as: Combination of the Specialat Durlach with the Specialat in Karlsruhe. This archival record, which might have given insight into what a "Specialat" is, unfortunately is not available online. (in the USA)
Ulrich Neitzel Answer:
The Specialat was an ecclesiastical administrative unit of the Protestant Church in Baden at the end of the
18th and in the 19th century. The division broadly followed the division of the administrative districts of the state. At the head of a Specialat was usually a superintendent. translated from German Wikipedia: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spezialat Note that Pastor Bürcklin had the title "Special und Kirchenrath"; he was apparently the head of the Specialat.
Kent Note: Thank you both for working on the word "Specialat." I'm sure having the head of the church "register" or write the written record of your funeral was a great honor. I am also impressed with the work done by pastor Ritter over a long period of time. You can see the last entry that J.J. Ritter made before his death. His handwriting is completely different than the day of his death and afterwards. The next pastor who wrote J. J. Ritter's entry was named Gottlieb Bernhard Fecht. He served in Graben from 1798-1808
