Rainer Langhans: How the Veteran of the '68 Movement Remains Radically Happy Despite Cancer Diagnosis!
In a time when many people age alone, Rainer Langhans lives in Munich-Schwabing in an unusual community.
Three women – Gisela Getty, Christa Ritter, and Brigitte Streubel – share his life, although not directly his apartment. They describe it as a commune where the bodies do not live together, but the spirits connect. The often misunderstood word "harem" is taken lightly by them, emphasizing that it is about mutual inspiration, not oppression. The women are also on this spiritual path and, like Langhans, see the positive interpretation of life as the key to "learning to die".
Radical into Old Age
"Species-appropriate attitude" for a fulfilling life His lifestyle remains uncompromising. Vegetarian diet, walks, cycling, and regular meditation are not mere habits for him but a conscious "species-appropriate attitude". He rejects surgical interventions and chemotherapy. Instead, he opts for palliative therapy that reduces his testosterone to zero. The result? "I am chemically castrated," Langhans says openly. Yet even here, he sees an incredible opportunity: He no longer feels just as a man, but as a human who has developed "beyond all these depths of libido". An astonishing transformation that shows how far Rainer Langhans is willing to go for his beliefs.
His 85th birthday is approaching, and Rainer Langhans is perfectly content. His story is a compelling example that age, illness, or societal conventions do not have to set boundaries for a unique and fulfilling life path. A true maverick who can inspire us all to view life from a completely new perspective.
