The image above is a coat of arms from the book "Die Wappen der alten Bauerfamilien in der holsteinischen Elbmarschen" published in 1920. In that book, the Kreys are described as a well-to-do family from the Wilster-Marsh. A specific mention is made regarding a Nikolaus Kreye living at Roskop in 1448. In some holstein dialects, the word "crow" is pronounced like Krey, which explains the bird in the coat of arms.
Thanks to Hans-Christian Krey for supplying this information.
