William Behn. Cambridgeshire

Does anyone have any information regarding the origins of;

William/Wilholm/Wilhelm Behn. Born c.1848 in Germany/Prussia.

He came to England (Bassingbourne,Cambridgeshire) as a tailor sometime between 1861-1870, and married Emma Dellar in 1871.

A location listed as Becker, Prussia is lised by the ancestry team on his census return of 1871, however, on closer inspection the writing is illegiable and is unlikely to be this location. After numerous checks the place of Becker does not exist.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks,

Census return is attached if anyone wants to try and decipher the location. William is listed 4th up from the bottom.
