What Leibzüchter tells us

When Johann Heinrich Krückeberg marries on 11 April 1802, he is a Leibzüchter. This tells us:

Johann Heinrich previously held Stätte Nr. 10 as principal holder
By 1802, he had already stepped back from active control
He retained residence and livelihood rights (Leibzucht)
The holding number (10) remains attached to him administratively

This is exactly what we expect after an inter vivos Übergabe (handover during lifetime).

Transliteration and Translation

The date of the marriage, 11 April 1802, is written above the three marriages that occurred on that date, the first of which is at the bottom of the prior page in the church regsiter.

The word "geschwächt" is ambigous in the image, but it does resemble in its wording another marriage record where geschwächt is clearer, that of 1804 Fridrich Wilhelm Weyland of Petzen no. 2 Marriage. While "geschwächt" means "weakened", the sense is idomatic. It refers to premartial sexual relations.
