Abstract: In this paper we prove that for all $n=4k-2$, $kge2$ there exists a closed smooth complex hyperbolic manifold $M$ with real dimension $n$ having non-trivial $p{i}_1(mathcal{T}^{<0}(M))$. $mathcal{T}^{<0}(M)$ denotes the Teichm"uller space of all negatively curved Riemannian metrics on $M$, which is the topological quotient of the space of all negatively curved metrics modulo the space of self-diffeomorphisms of $M$ that are homotopic to the identity.
