The place was mentioned in a document in 1487 as Gryßensyffen . According to Dittmaier, the defining word Gries comes from the ndd. Grīs (= gray , moldy ). The Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies , Blatt Amt Steinbach , proves that the residential area had three courtyards as early as 1715, which are labeled as Grissiefen . Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking names the court on his charter of the Duchy of Berg in 1789 as Grisiefen . It shows that the place was part of the Honschaft Vellingen in the parish of Hohkeppel at that time .
