Isn't Kirche Church? I think you have an extra comma.
Evangelical-Reform Church in Edenkoben ...
Sometimes churches, cemeteries etc are in VE and it will map a location
that includes them but sometimes you have to go for the town.
If the location has a current street before the town name, VE will
usually find that street.
However, regardless of how a location is entered, VE can do weird things
and place the pin in another country or area altogether. Just as well we
can override the automatic find and I suggest that if you do use the
automatic find, that you check every single location carefully.

Any idea how to put it so the mapping progrom will map it? (or where
it is??)
I went to dictionary.com and used their translator, just to be sure, and I find my suspicions are true; that address is
mixed English and German. The Word "Reformierta" is off to me.... I don't recognize it as from any other language, but I'm
sure it is. It seems it probably imply a meaning of 'reformed', but reformed in German is "Verbassert". For complete
German, I believe it should have been:
Evangelisch-Verbessert Kirche, Edenkoben, Phalz, Bayern, Deutschland
This amounts to the English:
Protestant Reformed Church, Edenkoben, Pfalz, Bavaria, Germany
However, I personally don't use the foreign terms except in the names of the towns such as this "Edenkoben, Phalz, Bavaria".
Those who read my work will probably be English Speaking, hense, I like to use the English versions for everything like this.
Also, if you're using an English version of the Mapping Program, then your
entries should be in English.
