The Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV created the famous Land Book in the year 1375 to make the administration ofhis dominion more efficient and of course to make the collection of tax better. As so many villages in the state of Brandenburg, Gr�ningen was also recorded here first. The spelling of the village name changed during the centuries several times: Grenigen, Grenigyn, Grenyngen, Greninghen, Grenygen.

Here rare birds and crawling animals are at home.Near the village is the "Gr�ninger Spring", a pond spring surrounded by hornbeams and white willows.
