The Republic of Kugelmugel (translated as ‘Spherical Hill’), is a ball-shaped house classed as a micro-nation located within Vienna, Austria.

The house was designed and built in 1971 on a farm by the Austrian artist Edwin Lipburger. The design was part of his theory that the sphere was the perfect geometrical form for a new kind of habitation.

The house has a diameter of 7.68 m and is constructed of timber-finished units covered with zinc-covered sheets, bolted with 12 mm screws and sealed with permanent elastic.

Disputes with the authorities over local planning permits provoked Lipburger to declare that the house, due to being spherical, had its own centre point which was independent from the geocentre. Accordingly, in 1976 he declared the house to be an independent republic, free from laws and building regulations. He proceeded to elect himself President and began issuing stamps and passports.

In 1979, Lipburger was sentenced to prison for refusing to pay taxes. In 1982, the house was moved into the famous Prater amusement park in Vienna where it became a tourist attraction, despite being enclosed behind barbed-wire fencing. The house has the only address within the Republic – ‘Antifaschismusplatz 2’ (‘Anti-Fascism Square’ No. 2).

Despite having no water or electricity connection, Lipburger continued to inhabit the house until his death in 2015. The Republic officially holds a population of over 650 non-resident citizens.
