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!

The best hotel on Neuwerk
The hotel is modern, beautifully furnished, and quiet. We were very satisfied with the food and service. Unfortunately, smokers are allowed to indulge their habit undisturbed in the lovely, sheltered terrace area; we were subjected to a haze of smoke during both lunch and dinner. In 2023, it's perfectly acceptable to segregate smokers into separate areas behind glass – this is now a matter of social consensus.
We had lunch here. Friendly staff and generous portions. The ice cream was delicious. The restrooms are modern and clean.

In herrlicher Lage mit wunderschöner Aussicht auf Natur und Wetter befindet sich das Hotel. Besonders hervorzuheben ist dabei der lichtdurchflutete Wintergarten.
Immer wieder so schön! Top. Macht weiter so.
We had a wonderful long weekend on Neuwerk at the "Nige Hus." Our room was very comfortably furnished, spacious, and offered a breathtaking view of the island. We felt very much at home thanks to the warm and welcoming atmosphere. We were also grateful for the assistance with our arrival and departure. We ate at the hotel's restaurant, "Zum Anker," and have become completely enamored with their fried potatoes. 😉 We would love to come back again.
Always enough beer!
We were just there for dinner, it was delicious and the service was very friendly! Thanks Chris

Thank you very much, it was very nice and the food in the restaurant that evening was delicious. The roof terrace was very cozy.
We spent three nights at the hotel. The rooms were beautifully furnished, modern, spacious, and clean. The staff was very friendly and even accommodated special requests (e.g., a second blanket). The breakfast was plentiful.
