history
Originally there were two farms on the terp. In addition to the building in which today's group house is located, there was another building that was demolished in the 1960s and is now in the Schleswig-Holstein open-air museum near Kiel. The stable area of this building still exists today, to which a living area was added. The National Park seminar house Langeneß of the Wadden Sea protection station is a former Hallighof, in which seminar, group and sleeping rooms as well as an apartment for the employees were built. In 2006/2007 the information room on Rixwarf and the exhibition in the National Park seminar house were redesigned. In 2009, the staff rooms were converted, with a solar thermal system installed for the whole house.

The “house team” offers public cotton excursions and slide lectures. On behalf of the National Park Office , it is also responsible for nature conservation monitoring tasks on the Hallig (flushing line monitoring, bird counts, breeding bird mapping, mudflat mapping, registration of dead marine mammals, etc.). The house is available almost all year round for seminars, class trips, course and level trips, seminars and workshops of clubs, organizations, universities, etc. a. to disposal.
Scientific work
The WWF is carrying out a long-term grazing project on a fen (Halligweide) adjacent to the house . Farming with cattle on extensively and intensively used areas with salt meadow vegetation is compared .
University of Hamburg students have been studying the oystercatcher population on the southern tip of the Hallig since 2007 .
The Geographical Institute of the University of Göttingen is conducting investigations into sedimentation after Landunter on Langeneß and other Halligen. Statistical processes can be used to make predictions about the “growth” of the Halligen and the development with rising sea levels.
