When the West Farm (Westhof) became free in 1862, Lueder Christian Griebel bought it. He came from Bevensch, where his father owned a farm.

In 1865, Lueder Christian bought the east farm and the middle farm from Diedrich Wilhelm Strohsahl and for over half a year he owned all three farms. In March of the next year, he sold the east Farm. He did not have much time to enjoy the ownership of his farms, because in October of 1867, he drowned in the North Sea. His very capable wife, Anna Catharina, a born Brockmann, kept the farm together for her four children, of which the oldest, a daughter, Regina, was only 5 1/2 years old. After three years, Catharina got married again to Johann Wilhelm Strohsahl, and on Easter 1873, his mother-in-law let him take over the place. The second daughter, Elise, became the wife of Ernst August Floethers, who received the Fisherhouse from his father in 1880.

The only son of the drowned man, Lueder Nicolaus Griebel, became the owner of the West farm in 1855, exactly eleven years after his father's untimely death. He kept the place until 1915, when he died in a Hamburg hospital.

Today, the farm is owned by his youngest son, Ernst Griebel, who has been the owner for 35 years. His oldest son, Willy Griebel, had bought the farm from Otto Strohsahl, when he moved to the mainland.

Since the Griebels have been on the island for 85 years, they are considered to be one of the oldest families living there today.ertrunken Nordsee
