A Gasthaus (also called Gasthof, Landhaus, or Pension) is a German-style inn or tavern with a bar, a restaurant, banquet facilities and hotel rooms for rent.
Gasthäuser are typically found in smaller towns and are often family-owned. It is not uncommon to have three generations of a family working together in such an establishment and many have been owned by the same family for generations.[2]
Gasthäuser are common in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and other European countries around Germany. Some are decorated with mural paintings (called Lüftlmalerei) depicting fairy tale stories or local legendary figures.
Etymology: Specifically translated a Gasthaus means "guest house" in German. Gasthof is a variation of the word, Landhaus means "country house" (though is essentially the same concept, just in a rural setting) and Pension means "boarding house" or small hotel. Lunch and dinner (Mittagessen und Abendessen) are usually served to the public, but breakfast (Frühstück) is typically reserved for overnight guests. It also will often have an outdoor area for a beer garden (Biergarten) during the spring and summer seasons. WikipediaKent: Today we call them motels or hotels but in the 16th through the 20th century Germany they were called a Gasthaus or guesthouse. They often had a restaurant as well as rooms for people to stay in. Here is some history on the Gasthäuser in Graben, Germany.

The German language has a number of specific words for various types of innkeepers. Here are just a few:
Cronenwirth = innkeeper at the sign of the crown or proprieter of the Crown tavern/inn.
Löwenwirth = innkeeper at the sign of the lion or proprietor of the Lion tavern/inn.
Bärenwirth = innkeeper at the sign of the bear or proprietor of the Bear tavern/inn.
One of my favorites is: Dreikönigenwirth = innkeeper at the sign of the Three Kings or proprietor of the Three Kings inn/tavern. I would think "Three Kings" is a reference to the Magi. Most likely the Germans had special words for the innkeepers because from village to village, the same signs to identify the inns, taverns, and guesthouses were used over and over.

“welch wir gelebts und auch gestorben, naemlich da rein gesund Taten allen Zuspruch zum Christlichen Leben verachtet, auch nachmals bei etlichen Tag vor seinem Tod gaenzlich Verfallenes Gehoer und Verlohrenne Sinne, ohne Muendliche Zuspruch muessen dahin sterben, und weil er mit wollust Trunkenheit gesuendigt, als lang er gekonnt und bis ihn die Suende verlassen, zum Leichtext bekommen”, Verba Syracid: C XIIX. N.22
It is written kind of different, but in essence, it says: (have it checked and translated by one of the other people if needed, like Robert Sealy or anyone who understands this old “description” better)
I says that he did not pay attention to advice given to him to live a better life, that he did not want to repent for previous misdeeds, he would not listen prior to his death and he died without council or comfort and he lost his senses, he loved to drink and get drunk and had sinned as long he was able to until it was too late to repent

Note: Ten witnesses appears to be a record in the 1k documents I have had translated.
Comments: I was unable to find a definition for "Laubwirth". The word "Laub" alone translates as leaves or foliage, so perhaps innkeeper at the sign of the leaves?

Translation by Robert Seal
(1) Did Maria b 1842 have two illegitimate children and go to America?:
Yes, Maria Christina had two illegitimate children: (1) Martin Ludwig
(1865-1865) and (2) Lina Friederika (1867-1867). Maria Christina died in
America. [I don't know what "/4" means.]
(2) What is the first name of the second child at the end of the list?: Lina.
(3) What is written below Martin Ludwig?: acknowledged [that Martin Ludwig is his child] by Martin Hassler.
(4) What is Wilhelm b 1872's middle name?:
If you are referring to Wilhelm Scholl, the father, at the top of the
page, he was born in 1812. His occupation, rather than his middle name,
is written after "Wilhelm"; the occupation is "Straußwirth" = innkeeper
at the sign of the bouquet (who sells wine).
(5) What about Luise Karoline?
Did she get married in 1871?: Yes, she got married in 1871. I am unable
to decipher what is written before "1871", possibly the place where the
marriage took place. Below this a a note in parentheses which states
the following: "(NB. geschieden)" = (Note well: divorced).
Notes:
Wilhelm Scholl was born in 11 Nov 1812. Wilhelm's occupation is
"Straußwirth" = innkeeper at the sign of the bouquet (who sells wine).
Wilhelm is the great grandson of Matthias Scholl b 1718. He married Christina Speck 1 April 1841 and they had four children:
1. Maria Christina Scholl 13 Mar 1842. Maria Christina had two illegitimate children:
(1) Martin Ludwig (1865-1865) acknowledged [that Martin Ludwig is his child] by Martin Hassler.
(2) Lina Friederika (1867-1867) Fridericka 5 Feb 1867
2. Wilhelm 3 July 1845
3. Karl Ludwig Scholl 1847
