"Presumed family tree of the Gryn von Treis"

The Gryn of Treis is one of the Treiser noble families, which is using the epithet well by other residents of the Mosel town of Trier ministerial families can differ. Her name still lives on today in the dialect name "Grinserhof" for Grenzhäuserhof. Her name also occurs in the variants Grien, Grün, Grein, Kerin etc. and is derived from the green heraldic shield with 3 (2: 1) silver lilies, which differentiated her from the Stetzges von Treis with a red heraldic shield. The similarity of the coat of arms and documentary evidence also make a relationship to the knights of Monreal , Owylre and von Klotten likely

This Treis line, which emerged from several donations to regional monasteries, can only be traced back over two generations in the 13th and 14th centuries (until 1325), but its Lieger relatives for a hundred years longer. The latter can be identified as altarists in the Münstermaifeld Abbey at the St. Lubentius altar there from the end of the 14th to the second third of the 15th century.

The first secure documentary evidence for the Gryn von Treis dates from August 27, 1254 for the brothers Theodor and Conrad Gryn von Treis. At that time the former donated "his farm on Mount Tris" to the Himmerod monastery and his brother also sold his property there to the same monastery. The two brothers are mentioned until 1283 (Konrad) and 1406 (Theodor). It is very likely that they were sons of Ywan von Treis, who was first mentioned in 1254 and died before 1297.
