German term

KR-Ceb

German to English Bus/Financial General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters Reference in written correspondence
This appears after the date in a letter: Luzern, 11 Februar 2010 KR-Ceb. I am guessing that KR might stand for Kreis, as in Landkreis, but Ceb appears not to be a recognised abbreviation.

philgoddard Oct 22, 2012:
Asker You can confirm whether Steffen's answer is correct by looking at the name of the person writing the letter.
Colin Rowe Oct 22, 2012:
Letter from whom to whom? KR perhaps "Kreisrat" or similar, with "Ceb." being the start of the name of said person?

names/initials

KR are most probably the initials of the person who signed the letter. Ceb might be the first syllable/letters of the secretary's/typist's (sur)name. This is common practice in business/administrative correspondence.
