Ursula "Uschi" Obermaier (September 24, 1946) is a former fashion model, actress and is associated with the 1968 left-wing movement in Germany. In the latter she is considered an iconic sex symbol of the so-called "1968 generation" and the protests of 1968.〔(Uschi: Groupie, addict, and heroine of the left ), ''The Independent'', Friday, 2 February 2007. Accessed 17 August 2011〕 == Obermaier and Kommune 1 == Uschi Obermaier was born in Sendling, a suburb of Munich, Germany. She started an apprenticeship as a photo-restorer but gave it up to become a model. She was discovered by the magazine ''Twen''. After a successful photo-shoot with photographer Guido Mangold in Cameroon, she became its top model and internationally famous. She went on to work for other magazines and top photographers such as Helmut Newton.〔(Interview for ''VMagazine'' ) Accessed 17 August 2011〕 Slim and petite, but feminine, she represented a new type of model and posed nude from the front for the first time on a magazine cover. In Munich, Obermaier was briefly involved with ''Pamir'' survivor Othello (a.k.a. Rudolf Liebzeit). She was briefly a member of the Munich-based experimental commune/band Amon Düül around 1968/69 and lived in their commune. 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. They talked openly to the media about their relationship, becoming symbols of the sexual revolution. They became the German version of John Lennon and Yoko Ono.〔(''The Guardian'' 16 November 2007 ) Accessed 17 August 2011〕 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.〔(Uschi: Groupie, addict, and heroine of the left ), ''The Independent'', Friday, 2 February 2007. Access 17 August 2011〕 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.〔(Der Spiegel 27 December 2006 ) Accessed 17 August 2011〕 Photos of her at political demonstrations and with members of the Kommune appeared in all the popular magazines of the time. After the end of Kommune 1 in 1969, Langhans and Obermaier moved to the Highfisch-Kommune in Munich. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Uschi Obermaier」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
