He was born in Leipzig and began his career there as a lithographer and engraver.[4] He relocated to Munich around 1888 and studied there under Alexander Liezen-Mayer.[4] Greiner's mature style – characterized by unexpected spatial juxtapositions and a sharply focused, photographic naturalism – was strongly influenced by the work of Max Klinger, whom he met in 1891 while visiting Rome.[5]

Greiner died in Munich in 1916. The largest collection of his work in the United States is held by the Jack Daulton Collection in Los Altos Hills, California.[6][7]
