Villa Kunterbunt, Coliving space in Winterhude, Germany
Villa Kunterbunt is the former private house at Rondeel 29 in Hamburg-Winterhude, a square metal sign with the numerals 2 and 9 and the word BEGA mounted on a speckled stone wall. In the 1970s it housed a commune of up to 14 residents, including Udo Lindenberg, Otto Waalkes and Marius Müller-Westernhagen. Today the building is the seat of the Dr. E. A. Langner-Stiftung.
The house at Rondeel 29 was the Hamburg residence of the Canadian ambassador before Wilken F. Dincklage, later known as the singer Willem, took it as main tenant and founded a commune there in the 1970s. It also housed his Kraut Musikverlag publishing house. Up to 14 people lived in the Villa Kunterbunt, among them Udo Lindenberg, Otto Waalkes, Marius Müller-Westernhagen and Gottfried Böttger. Today the building belongs to the Dr. E. A. Langner-Stiftung.
The name comes from Astrid Lindgren's Pippi Longstocking books, a nickname for the former Canadian ambassador's residence. The house at Rondeel 29 became a meeting point of the Hamburg music and comedy scene, where Udo Lindenberg and Otto Waalkes developed characters such as Rudi Ratlos and Kommissar Kringel.
The building stands at Rondeel 29 in Hamburg-Winterhude, marked by a dark metal sign with the numerals 2 and 9 and the word BEGA. It is now the seat of the Dr. E. A. Langner-Stiftung and is not open to visitors as a commune.
The house number 29 appears on a dark metal sign with pale blue glazing and the word BEGA embossed at the upper right, fixed by four corner screws to a speckled stone wall. The building now houses the Dr. E. A. Langner-Stiftung.
