Hi
Johann Erhard Vogel - Bürger und Flecken Küffer

A Bürger (Burgher) was a middle class citizen with special rights.
i.e. Mastercraftsmen, Tradesmen, merchants.
They were socially seen above the working class,

Occupation  - Flecken Küffer - Village cooper
Flecken or Fleck =  a settlement.

The „Fleckenschmied“ was the „Ortsschmied“ = Village smith

Küffer
Küfer, Küffer, Küffner, Kufner, Küfner are all regional variations of Küfner = Cooper

Doc´s on it´s way
Dave
