About Hotel Nige Hus
Hotel Nige Hus and Restaurant Zum Anker - Family Hospitality
The Griebel family has a long history on Neuwerk and has been deeply rooted on the island for generations. The Hotel Nige Hus is a project close to the heart of the family, which they run with great attention to detail and a sustainable approach. In addition to the unique location and the special atmosphere, the guests of the Nige Hus appreciate above all the warm hospitality of the Griebel family and their team. Whether at the cozy breakfast in the winter garden of the hotel or at the social gathering at the bar of the Anker – here you feel immediately welcome and at home.
The Griebel family has lived on Neuwerk since the 18th century and the Anker was opened in 1974. In the meantime, the restaurant has become an integral part of island life and it is hard to imagine life without it. Lüder and Anneliese Griebel had their hands full coping with the first difficult years and can now look proudly at what the former Anker has become.
During the winter months, when all the businesses on Neuwerk are closed, renovations, additions and conversions have been and continue to be carried out. This should answer one or two questions about what the islanders do in winter… But despite all the modernizations, the unique charm and history of the house have always been preserved. The second generation, Christian Griebel and his wife Svenja, came to the island in 1997 to join their parents’ business.
There was not enough space for three generations, so two guest rooms and two group rooms became the Nige Hus with double rooms, suites and an apartment for the young family with their two children. Together they managed the restaurant and the hotel and realized many new projects. From the idea to offer the guests something special and unique, Christian Griebel developed and built the Tüdelüt and a little later the Wattoase was added. He has been the owner since 2012, but can still count on the active support of his parents.
Christian Griebel is not only the owner of the Hotel Nige Hus, but also the island chairman of Neuwerk. Together with his wife Svenja and his family, he is committed to ensuring that Neuwerk remains a unique place worth living in in the future. This is also reflected in the philosophy of the family business. For example, regional products are preferred and energy is supplied by renewable energies. The rooms were also designed sustainably and furnished with ecological materials.
The Griebel family and the entire team of Hotel Nige Hus look forward to welcoming you to the island soon!

Beste Unterkunft & bestes Restaurant auf Neuwerk
Äußerst schöne Anreise aus Sahlenburg mit dem Wattwagen direkt zum Hotel (unbedingt die Uhrzeiten der Gezeiten beachten) - ein ganz besonderes Erlebnis
They are all super nice here always friendly just great
Vom ersten Moment an fühlt man sich bei Familie Griebel herzlich willkommen. Jeder Wunsch wird erfüllt und man kann sich prima erholen. Das Hotel ist sehr komfortabel, sauber und das Essen im Restaurant sehr lecker. Wir waren sehr zufrieden und kommen gerne wieder.
Great restaurant, thank you, that was very kind. I can't comment on the rooms, but the food and service are excellent.
Leckeres Essen bei sehr gutem Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Auf keinen Fall die Bratkartoffeln vergessen....mmmmhhh
Kurzer spontaner Abstecher zur Insel Neuwerk mit schönem Wetter und einem schönem Hotel
Super Lage ,ca.100m vom Deich.Gutes Frühstück und sehr gutes Restaurant mit einer schönen Dachterrasse.Schöne Gartenanlage mit ruhigen Plätzen.Sehr schöne Überfahrt mit dem Wattwagen
We can't rate the rooms as we only ate there. BUT: The food is truly first-class. Fresh fish, fantastic salads, and unique fried potatoes filled our stomachs faster than is healthy – but with such delicious delicacies, you simply can't eat slowly. A visit to this charming restaurant is a truly special experience, especially thanks to the excellent service! The perfect blend of warm friendliness and sensitivity with classic service isn't always easy to find these days. Thank you for the wonderful time we had in the restaurant!
A home on Neuwerk, great hosts and a great service staff, great restaurant, it was 4 great days on the island
Sympathisch, freundlich, familiär, authentisch, unglaublich gemütlich und sehr hilfsbereit bei der Planung - und geschmeckt hat es auch noch! So geht Service! Vielen lieben Dank für den herzlichen Empfang und die schönen und leckeren Stunden bei Euch!
We're just here. We booked the Scharhörn Suite and extended our stay. It's simply beautiful. Everyone is very attentive and truly friendly. The restaurant is fantastic, and the fried potatoes are rightly touted as a specialty. Our accommodations leave nothing to be desired. The view is absolutely breathtaking.
We spent 6 days on Neuwerk with our child and dogs. We felt very comfortable at Nige Hus. Good breakfast with a wide selection, extremely friendly staff (this really has to be emphasized – you can tell everyone here enjoys what they do!), a good menu at Anker (fresh, not just traditional food!), even with vegan options – we weren't expecting that. Nice cake selection in the afternoon. Pick-up by tractor and transport to the ferry for hotel guests – unexpected and really great! The island is wonderful. We'll be back! Our elderly parents in the next room were also very happy. A kettle and a refrigerator would have made us happy in the room, but we understand the environmental considerations/idea behind having both in the hallway. On the terrace, you have to put up with the smokers, of which there were surprisingly quite a few – our only disappointment 😉
Sehr schönes Wochenende
