Faust, The Wümme Years

Former studio where a legendary Krautrock band jammed, got stoned and rode donkeys naked

Legendary Krautrock band Faust’s time in Wümme was marked by their residence in an old school building in a commune in Wümme, near Hamburg during the early 1970s. This period was characterized by an unconventional lifestyle, including frequent nudity and drug use. Despite these wild stories, the band members were highly dedicated to their music, spending most of their time in the studio. They transformed an old school building into their creative hub, where they engaged in extensive jamming and recording sessions. These sessions were known for their improvisation and experimentation, which significantly contributed to Faust’s revolutionary sound. Their music, influenced by the political and social upheaval of postwar Germany, aimed to establish a unique German sound, distinct from British and American influences.

The building is now a wood shop, next to a theatre and farm.

Former Studio of legendary Krautrock band Faust, in Wümme, Germany

Interesting place for music nerds. There is nothing really to see there, but if one is familiar with the band faust and their history, it's kind of interesting to envision these guys jamming in their studio, custom built into a former school house, getting high, hanging out in the surrounding fields and woods and getting raided by the police because people thought they were RAF terrorists. The 70s were wild.
