Griebens Reise-Bibliothek (est.1853) was a series of German-language travel guide books to Europe, founded by Theobald Grieben of Berlin.[1] Some titles occasionally appeared in English or French language editions. Compared with its competitor Baedeker, Griebens was "cheaper and less detailed."[2] A 1914 British reviewer judged it "informative and not bulky, going easily into the coat pocket."[3] Readers included Thomas Wolfe.[4] In 1863 publisher Albert Goldschmidt bought the series and continued it;[5] in the 1890s the Goldschmidt office sat on  [de] in Berlin. By the 1950s Griebens was issued by Jürgen E. Rohde of Munich.[6]
