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