Director Roland Emmerich is known for collapsing buildings and landmarks – at least in his films. Privately, however, the Hollywood star seems to be more careful with houses. This can also be seen in his villa, which the 67-year-old now wants to sell for 3.5 million euros. Emmerich’s imposing childhood home in Sindelfingen, Baden-Württemberg, is equipped with plenty of luxury. We show you what the villa looks like.

Emmerich became world famous for his visually stunning disaster films, which grossed hundreds of millions of dollars. At the end of “Independence Day”, “The Day After Tomorrow” and “2012” hardly a house is where it should be thanks to impressive special effects. But before the native of Stuttgart conquered Hollywood, he grew up in rather tranquil Sindelfingen. He was able to celebrate his first success with his graduation film for the University of Television and Film Munich, before devoting himself to larger projects and finally making one of the most commercially successful films ever in 1996 with “Independence Day”.
Over 500 square meters of living space
Emmerich comes from a wealthy family of industrialists – and this can also be seen from the former family residence. The property was built in 1961 by the architect Gebhard Müller in the cubist Bauhaus style and is located in the Wengert / Sonnenberg residential area. The villa has 521 square meters of living space and is surrounded by a 2190 square meter plot.
