I have posted to ViewMate an image of the heading for a field on some
records. Each record has a date on the left (this field), a name of a
child, names of parents, and a birth date (month and year only). These
entries are ordered by the date on the left (which go >from 1853-1857).
There is no other obvious order based on the other fields. The birth
dates range at least >from the 1780's to the 1840's.

Can anyone tell me what this heading says, and what the nature/purpose
of these records is?

The records are >from a new film >from the Family History Library. They
are >from the Bratislava archive, >from the town of Stupava (Stampfen,
Stomfa) in what is now western Slovakia, and was then Hungary. I'm
posting to the AustriaCzech SIG as well as H-SIG because there may be
better expertise with German.
