The critical parameters to set are the EPSG code of the source and target CRS. 
You must use 
the geographic CRS ones that correspond to the projected one you mentions. So 
EPSG:4314 
(DHDN) as the source and EPSG:4258 (ETRS89) as the target. Starting from the 
record for 
BWTA2017 should be a good idea.
For the area of use, you may want to look at the "area" table for a code that 
fits the bounding 
box of the grid, or create a new one if there is no match
For the auth_name of the transformation use 'PROJ', and for the code give some 
name like 
'EPSG_4314_TO_EPSG_4258_FOR_AREA_XXXX'

Utimately, if this grid is open data matching the criteria mentioned at 
https://github.com/
OSGeo/PROJ-data, you may want to submit for inclusion here *and* also make sure 
the grid 
is registered in the EPSG database by contacting IOGP: 
http://www.epsg.org/EPSGDataset/Makechangerequest.aspx
Once donce, that would avoid you in the future to have to hack the PROJ 
database.

Note: there are a number of other grids for Germany listed at
https://github.com/OSGeo/proj-datumgrid/issues that would be candidates for 
such a 
process.
