I say [g@"R9ntCt] (X-SAMPA), though that may show north German
influence (which tends to turn syllable-final /g/ into [x] or [C],
depending on the preceding vowel - witness ["flu:xtsOYC] for
|Flugzeug|).

I suspect that standard German, which has /g/ = [g], may drop the
first "t" and make it [g@"R9Nkt].
