The name Greiner is traditionally and early associated with glass producing history and sources to glass manufacturers in 14th or 15th century. Hans Greiner, grandson of the well-known gaffer master Peter Greiner born 1415, emigrated to Thueringen and founded the Glashuette Langenbach there. Whose great grandson has built the glassworks Lauscha and established this world-famous place Lauscha (Christmas tree decorations).
F. F.

The secrets of glass manufactoring are devolved traditionelly from father to son therefore the family lasted over centuries connected with this business. Justus Liebig, founder of the actual chemistry and many more famous names are counted among clients of the Greiners. Moreover Greiners were leading involved to following fabrications:
