Griebens Reise-Bibliothek

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 Köthener Straße [de] in Berlin. By the 1950s Griebens was issued by Jürgen E. Rohde of Munich.^[6]
