Uschi ObermaierFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Uschi Obermaier (September 24, 1946 in Munich, a.k.a. Chrissi Malberg) was a fashion model and groupie and one of the protagonists of the 1968 left-wing movement in Germany. She is regarded to have been the sex symbol of the 1968 generation in Europe.
Obermaier and the Kommune 1Uschi Obermaier was discovered by the magazine twen. Thin and petite much like Twiggy, she represented a new type of model.Obermaier moved from Munich to the Berlin-based Kommune 1 after she had become Rainer Langhans' girlfriend. Langhans and Obermaier freely talked to the media about their relationship, becoming symbols of the sexual revolution. John Lennon and Yoko Ono, among others, followed their example.
It is important to note, however, that Obermaier was not viewed by most in the Ausserparlamentarische Opposition as one of their activists. She did not take part in radical feminist actions like the other female members and friends of the Kommune 1. She was best known for appearances in major German magazines, such as Stern, in which she appeared openly nude and using marijuana.
Obermaier probably was the best known German groupie of the 1960s. She was briefly a member of the Krautrock-band Amon and is said to have had affairs with Keith Richards, Mick Jagger and Jimi Hendrix.
Obermaier had featured roles in several films. In "Detektive" (1968, directed by Rudolf Thome) she played alongside Iris Berben. She was the main protagonist of the movie Rote Sonne (1969). Together with Rainer Langhans, she had a small role in the movie Haytabo.
In 1973, Uschi Obermaier fell in love with Dieter Bockhorn, the rich owner of a club in Hamburg's red-light district, the Reeperbahn. Together, they traveled the world in a customized bus, first spending three years in Asia, then going to Mexico and the USA for another three years. In an Interview (Galore, Issue25) Obermaier marked reports as completely fictious that she and Bockhorn would have had a traditional wedding in every country they traveled in. They only married once in India. After ten years their relationship ended abruptly. On New Year's Eve 1983, Dieter Bockhorn died in a motorcycle accident in Mexico.
By then, Uschi Obermaier had been granted American citizenship. Today, she lives in Topanga Canyon near Los Angeles, working as a jewellery designer.
Her life has been depicted in a biopic called Das wilde Leben (which translates to The Wild Life). Is had been directed by Achim Bornhak and was released in February 2007.
