The Gryphon (German: Der Greif) is a German TV series based on the fantasy novel Der Greif by Wolfgang Hohlbein and Heike Hohlbein from 1989.
The small town of Krefelden in 1994: 16-year-old Mark runs a record store next to school together with his big brother Thomas and his friend Memo. When the new girl Becky moves into town, she and Mark soon become closer.
One day, Thomas introduces his little brother to an old family tradition: Mark should enter his name in the family chronicle. The book has been passed down from the men in the family to their sons for centuries. It describes a fantastic world in which a cruel creature, the griffin, exercises his reign of terror and which, according to Thomas, really exists. It is their job to fight The Gryphon. Mark doesn't want to hear anything about it at first, because ten years earlier her father Karl, apparently driven mad by the chronicle, set himself on fire in the cemetery. But Mark soon has to realize that the world of The Gryphon is real.
