For sale the family residence of the German tennis legend

The childhood home of tennis legend Boris Becker, located in Leimen, Germany, has been put up for sale again for nearly three million euros. The villa was designed by Becker's father, architect Karl-Heinz Becker, and built in 1992 on a plot of 825 square meters. It features approximately 586 square meters of living space, offering views over the Rhine Valley to the Palatinate Mountains. The property includes multiple floors, a bedroom in a glass round tower, and a separate guest area. The house holds many memories for Becker, who was born and raised in Leimen before achieving fame with his first Wimbledon victory at age 17 in 1985. Despite his successful tennis career and family life, Becker has faced financial difficulties in recent years, including bankruptcy declared in 2017 due to unpaid debts of 3.6 million euros. In 2022, he was convicted of misconduct during the bankruptcy process and sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison, serving eight months before being deported to Germany. He currently lives in Milan with his family.
