The End of Kommune 1 and Its Legacy
Eventually, the energy of Kommune 1 was spent. Kunzelmann's addiction to heroin worsened and the second communard was expelled from the commune. (It is said that the other members of the commune left of their own will). Now and then, the Munich women's communes appeared.
In November 1969, a gang of Rockers raided those who remained and devastated the rooms. The remaining occupants lost their belief in the future of Kommune 1 and they dispersed. Obermaier and Langhans went to Munich.
A table from one of the rooms of the Kommune 1 was bought by the Green Party politician Hans-Christian Ströbele. During meetings around that same table, the newspaper die tageszeitung and the German Chaos Computer Club were founded. The table was stolen in 1990, and there is some speculation as to its whereabouts today.
