Overview

  • Langhans and Obermaier forged one of Germany’s most famous hippie partnerships as Kommune1 members from 1970 to 1973.
  • He was diagnosed with terminal prostate cancer in 2021 but currently reports no pain or other symptoms.
  • As he marks his 85th birthday, Langhans is determined to heal an estrangement triggered by a 2007 fallout over their divergent lifestyles.
  • He has publicly declared he will not initiate contact and is calling on Obermaier to reach out first for reconciliation.
  • While Langhans lives in a Munich commune with three partners, Obermaier remains in Portugal and has yet to respond to his overtures.
