Tough stuff... 17th century?
Broom Andreas Schutt -Leineweber (Linon weaver)- (followed by a word which I could not decipher)
Broom's father Jacob Schutt -Bürger (status citizen) und Stadt..... I cannot decipher, sorry
Bride Barbara
Bride's father Joerg Schimpfen Bürger und Schuhmacher (shoemaker)

The name is Schutt in my opinion

Thanks for that. could Jacob's be stadt bauer?

One letter too much. Possibly Stadtbauwer (old style) But Stadtbauer(municipal farmer) makes no sense. Stadtbauer (municipal builder) would be something one could imagine. Attention - the word has got a genitiv S at the end. The word after Leineweber I tend to Handwerker (craftsman)

I have optimized a little bit the pic:

Hi Viktor
Could he be a peasant? City Peasant?

Not sure I understand this genitiv s. I see the surnames have 's' and 'en' at the end, what does this mean, would you mind explaining this to me as I have wondered about this.

Given names and family names had been declinated in older times.
For example : der Schult (Nominative), des Schultes (Genitive) dem Schulten (Dative) den Schulten (Akkusative)

Stadtbauer= kind of peasant is possible. I didn't get a sense into it first. But it had been a certain status Stadtbauer - Ackerbürger
But if it would be Stadtbauer there is a letter too much in it. So it may be that this an old style writing > Stadtbauwer

That wikipedia link is not available in English, sorry.
