She played maracas in the band Amon Düül I, on two albums: Collapsing (1970), and Disaster (1972). She also played a small role alongside Rainer Langhans in Haytabo, and portrayed Marlene in the film adaptation of the novel Blutrausch. She was the protagonist of Red Sun (1970). Obermaier played alongside Iris Berben in Rudolf Thome's Detectives (1969). Their relationship ended abruptly after ten years when Dieter Bockhorn died in a motorcycle accident in Mexico on New Year's Eve, 1983. Obermaier said in an interview in 2006 that reports that she and Bockhorn had a traditional wedding in every country they traveled in were untrue. Obermaier and Bockhorn traveled the world in a customized bus, first spending three years in Asia, then going to Mexico and the U.S. Obermaier went on The Rolling Stones' Tour of the Americas '75 and is said to have had affairs with both Keith Richards and Mick Jagger, as well as with Jimi Hendrix – a visitor to Kommune 1 – with whom she can be seen kissing and cuddling farewell outside the West Berlin hotel Kempinski in the movie Last Experience. In 1973, Obermaier fell in love with Dieter Bockhorn, the wealthy owner of a club in Hamburg's Reeperbahn red-light district. Photos of her at political demonstrations and with members of the Kommune appeared in all the popular magazines of the time.Īfter the end of Kommune 1 in 1969, Langhans and Obermaier moved to the Highfisch-Kommune in Munich. However, she later said that she had no particular interest in politics, and that she moved into Kommune 1 simply to be close to Langhans. Kommune 1 was the first politically motivated commune in Germany, and Obermaier's name is most intimately connected with the 1960s student rebellions in the minds of many Germans. They became the German version of John Lennon and Yoko Ono. They talked openly to the media about their relationship, becoming symbols of the sexual revolution. She met communard Rainer Langhans at a concert at the end of 1968 and she soon moved from Munich to the Berlin-based Kommune 1 after Langhans became her boyfriend. In Munich, she was briefly a member of the Munich-based experimental commune and band Amon Düül I around 1968–69 and lived in their commune. She went on to work for other magazines and top photographers such as Helmut Newton. After a successful photo-shoot with photographer Guido Mangold in Cameroon, she became its top model and internationally famous. She started an apprenticeship as a photo-restorer but gave it up to become a model. Obermaier was born in Sendling, a suburb of Munich, Germany. She is considered an iconic sex symbol of the so-called "1968 generation" and the protests of 1968. Ursula " Uschi" Obermaier ( German pronunciation: ( listen) born 24 September 1946) is a former fashion model and actress associated with the 1968 left-wing movement in Germany.
