question about birth records in Baden Wurttemberg??!!

Are there baptismal or birth records for the town of Bodman-Ludwigshafen for the years 1800-1810?

According to his tombstone in Pennsylvania my ancestor, Walter Rutman, was born (or baptized)on 15 Dec 1805. All Pennsylvania census records list his place of birth as Wurttemberg and family tradition has always given the name of the town loosely as Ludwigshafen, so I was delighted to find a Luwidgshafen actually IN Wurttemberg, though it is now called Bodman-Ludwigshafen!

I have very little skill in German research.

Where would I find birth records for this period?

Would I look for Walter Rutman or would he perhaps have had a baptismal name something like, for example, Johann Peter Walter Rutman, with Walter being not in the forefront?

And the spelling could be a bit different also.

All best,

Neil Rutman
