Griesel, son of foreman Paul Griesel, studied mathematics, physics, logic and philosophy at the University of Tübingen and the University of Münster in 1951 in Iserlohn ( Märkisches Gymnasium ) and received his doctorate in natural sciences from Heinrich Behnke in Münster in 1957 ( overconvergence in the function theory of several variables ). From 1958 he was a grammar school teacher in Dortmund and Lüdenscheid and was the head of mathematics at the study seminar in Hagen . He was also a lecturer at the University of Münster from 1960 to 1968. In 1967 he became a professor for mathematics and mathematics didactics at the PH Hannover and in 1971 at the comprehensive university in Kassel, where he founded the Kassel School of Mathematics Didactics with Arnold Kirsch .

From 1975 to 1979 he was chairman of the Society for Didactics of Mathematics (GDM), of which he became an honorary member in 2006. From 1979 he was chairman of the mathematical structure working group of the size calculus in the committee for units and formula sizes (AEF) of DIN . In the 1970s he published a three-volume textbook based on New Mathematics , which was mandatory in the curricula at the time and which he also extended to include everyday arithmetic.

Since 1970 he was with Ursula, geb. Holland-Letz, married and has a son and a daughter.
