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!

A truly outstanding restaurant! The fish dish (we had the fried fish platter) was absolutely fresh, perfectly prepared, and very flavorful. The fried potatoes were deliciously seasoned and beautifully crispy. We were particularly impressed by the selection – from classic dishes to creative specialties, they had it all. The cheesecake we also had there was fantastic 😋. The service was very attentive and friendly. The ambiance is also very pleasant: a cozy, sheltered terrace with comfortable benches and tables. You immediately feel at ease. The value for money is excellent – for the quality of the food and the portion sizes, it's more than fair. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this restaurant!
Very lovely people and a friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended 😊
Wonderful
We had a great stay at Nige Hus and would love to go again! The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and attractive. Breakfast is excellent. The attached restaurant is cozy and perfect for a chilly night on Insel Neuwerk. We sat by the wood stove and enjoyed many hot beverages mit was drin! Theres a tractor service to tow your bags to and from the hotel for you so you can walk there from the ferry unfettered. In rainy weather you can ride in a covered trailer to and from the ferry. Id definitely stay there again.
Es un sitio precioso y una gente encantadora. Vale la pena ir a ver un sitio singular
Wunderbares verlängertes Wochenende
Wir (48 & 45) haben ein wunderbares, verlängertes Wochenende im Nige Hus auf Neuwerk verbracht. nAnreise ab Cuxhaven stilecht mit der Pferdekutsche durchs Watt - der Kontakt zum Anbieter kam vom Hotel, was super geklappt hat. Wir wurden mit unserem Gepäck bis direkt vor die Tür gefahren.nTolles Hotelzimmer, sehr nettes und zuvorkommendes Personal. Leckeres Frühstück (von 8 - 10.30 Uhr), super Kuchen und gutes Abendessen. nUnd zum Abschluss wurden wir vom Chef mit Trecker samt Anhänger zum Schiff gefahren, das uns zurück nach Cuxhaven gebracht hat. Es hat uns super gefallen und wir kommen bestimmt wieder!
Simply great, also for Baden residents with Mr. Zyp and his group
Restaurant Zum Anker - Empfehlenswert
An das Hotel Nige Hus ist das Restaurant „Zum Anker“ angegliedert.nWir waren im Rahmen eines Tagesausfluges vor Ort. Man kann sehr nett draußen sitzen - wahlweise überdacht mit Sonnenschirmen oder auch auf einer kleinen Sonnenterasse. Das Servicepersonal ist super freundlich und hilfsbereit. nDie Speisekarte ist überschaubar und fein. Nachfragen bzgl. Allergien sind gar kein Problem, einfach melden und die Küche nimmt darauf Rücksicht. nInsgesamt ein sehr positiver Eindruck, hier kommen wir gerne wieder.
A pleasant surprise!
This hotel is way beyond any expectations!!! Very spacious rooms, just renovated (again!), 5 star level of bathrooms, excellent breakfast, family run with attention to detail and personalised service is definitely an excellent , value for money choice! nHighly-highly recommended!
We visited the restaurant after our mudflat hike. The food was absolutely delicious, the service friendly, and the location very cozy. We had a mixed salad with fried cream cheese potato dumplings, as well as the "Matjes Platter" with three kinds of matjes herring: - Sherry Matjes - marinated in beetroot juice and sherry - Matjes herring, housewife style - with an apple and onion sauce - Herring bites - in a curry marinade with fried potatoes. Highly recommended.
What can I say – it was simply wonderful! We received a warm welcome at the hotel upon arrival. The entire team was always friendly and attentive, patiently answering every question. They also addressed individual requests immediately – you truly feel welcome here. Our room (number 2) was very cozy, with a lovely view and a modern bathroom. Everything was perfect for us. We were also delighted with the breakfast: a great selection, everything fresh, and the staff was always helpful. I especially appreciated the little touches that show how much attention is paid to guests – for example, that margarine and a vegan curry spread were automatically brought to me at my second breakfast. These little things make all the difference and bring a smile to your face. The restaurant area is tastefully decorated – a successful blend of tradition and modernity. All in all, a wonderful stay. Should we return to Neuwerk, this hotel will definitely be our first choice!
A truly lovely restaurant on a beautiful island. Even though the kitchen was already closed, we received a wonderful meal. Excellent service! We'd love to come back.
