German term or phrase: geb: Kohaut
Hi.

Does anyone know the proper translation for this abbreviation?

It's shortened in this manner, so I can't really tell what it fully means

It was at the top of a Medical Report, in the following format:

"Patient's full name"............geb: Kohaut............"Patient's date of birth"

Thanks
