Hello.

Adresses with 69493 Großsachsen are matched to Weinheim although it does not belong to Weinheim, but to Hirschberg. This leads to adresses like “Jahnstrasse, Hirschberg” not being found.  
If more info is needed, please advise.

We don’t provide much support for the geocoder. Really, that’s complementary for our services, nothing more. We use the Pelias geocoding engine, which again uses the data from multiple sources. Learn more here:

The admin hierarchy data comes from WhosOnFirst and Großsachsen is not well defined there:

> **[Grosssachsen (1327147621)](https://spelunker.whosonfirst.org/id/1327147621/)**
>
> Grosssachsen is a locality - that is deprecated :flag-de:

Instead, it falls in the geometry of Weinheim:

> **[Weinheim (101839857)](https://spelunker.whosonfirst.org/id/101839857/)**
>
> Weinheim is a locality :flag-de:

We can’t anything about that, but encourage you to take a look how to contribute and improve the places on WOF:
