Any idea what this document is about?

I can't read German, so I'm clueless as to what this document is about. It came along with something I got off ebay months ago as a surprise. I'd be interested if anyone can gleen any information from it. Thanks.

It's a birth certificate based on church records.

Thanks for the info. That would explain the "pastor" near the bottom I'd think.
