Emmelndorf villa for "Tokio Hotel"?

Neighbours report about mysterious visits in the darkness

At night darkened limousines drive up in front of the villa Lauenstein in Emmelndorf. A high fence to protect from prying eyes. The rumour mill is working overtime in Seevetal: Supposedly, the guys from "Tokio Hotel" have bought the villa as a place of refuge. Female fans are already there to couch.

In mid-19th century, the pastor Moritz Lauenstein, a close confidant of the "iron chancellor" Otto von Bismarck, had built a mansion for his large family on the property. Later, a second luxury house was built next to the actual Villa Lauenstein, where Wolf-Dietrich Lauenstein used to live until some time ago and which now allegedly serves "Tokio Hotel” as a retreating room.

The 59-year-old Lauenstein, who has moved into the villa of his great-grandfather in the meantime, doesn’t want to reveal who resides now in the other classy property. "There have been many rumours. Allegedly, Dieter Bohlen and Herbert Grönemeyer have already bought the villa. I will remain mute about it," says the 59-year-old Lauenstein.

It’s already two years ago that the members of the Magdeburg boyband moved to Hamburg. The twins Bill and Tom Kaulitz, singer and guitarist of "Tokio Hotel", are registered residents in the Hanseatic city, where also their producer David Jost lives.
Even if they are not registered in the municipality of Seevetal, the pop-stars could theoretically use the villa in Emmelndorf as a hideaway, confirmed municipality spokesman Andreas Schmidt.

"The house has been completely rebuilt in the past few months," said neighbour Traute Meyer. But who’s moved in there, she doesn’t know unfortunately In the neighbourhood, there are a lot of rumours: "Some say that artists live there, others say it is a brothel," says Traute Meyer. For her, it’s all very mysterious.
