Default Approach for identifying "Kü"

In Sturgess on pages 478 and 479, he publishes a copy of a secret listing of Ordinance Offices from 1944 (identified as probably the last).

The consistent approach for abbreviating these offices used the first letter of the office's identity followed by the last letter of the office's identity.

For example Krugau (Brandenberg) is code "Ku" (no umlaut).

These lists were updated every six months.

Is there a city in Germany that starts with "K" and ends with "ü" with an Umlaut?
