history

The original homeland is believed to be in Denmark . The family is said to have used the name Krabe or Krabbe in the past, later it was only called Stargard after its Ulshagen estate in the office . A chronicle mentions a Busso Krabe from Ulshagen in 1245 . Relatives also settled in Pomerania.

Danish crab coat of arms (af Østergård)

Indeed, there was a noble family Krab in Denmark with a similar coat of arms. The progenitor of the North Jutland noble family Krabbe til Østergård was Niels Mikkelsen, who first documented it in 1336. A Mikkel Krabbe was the father of Nils Krabbe, who married Kirsten Munk, a daughter of the knight Stig Munk, in 1408 . In Denmark this noble family Krabbe died out in 1878, but branches persist in Great Britain and Argentina . A scion was naturalized as Krabbe af Krageholm in Sweden in 1664 , but died there with the same Jörgen in 1678 in the baron class conferred on him in 1676 .

There is a beautiful epitaph from 1558 in Åsted Kirke in Viborg Amt , North Jutland. It commemorates the Danish Imperial Councilor Iver Krabbe til Østergård, Krabbesholm og Skovsgård, and his wife Magdalene Banner. An equally beautiful epitaph is the Danish Reichsmarschall Tyge Mogensen Krabbe af Østergaard (1474–1541) and his wife Anne Nielsdotter Rosenkrantz , who died in Vegholm, Sweden .

coat of arms

A black bar in red, on the helmet between two ox horns in red and blue a green plume.

Possibly the bar in the coat of arms of the (crab) von Ulshagen was actually just as silver on a red background as in the coat of arms of the Danish crab, because “Silver, for example, oxidizes easily and then has a gray shade, yes even a bluish or blackish shade - so the opposite of what was originally wanted "and" since the old painters used to underline gold with red and silver with blue, these colors emerged when the metals were oxidized and produced inaccuracies in the representation of the coat of arms.
