"Militär" would be an abbreviation for "Militärkirche", more commonly
called in German "Garnisonkirche" (as, for example, the historically
famous "Garnisonkirche" in Potsdam). The Prussian army had a Protestant
officer corps, and so in towns with military installations/barracks, a
local church would be designated as the military church.

Sorry for being pedantic here.

Joe,

They were married in the Lemberg E & R church. I just didn't know why
I had
added this german phrase to the marriage record. It sounded like
something
military to me and I wondered what it could be. I wrote it on the
record too
many years ago to remember any more about it.

Evangelical or REFORMED church..... Possibly the Reformed Church of
