After studying music and musicology in Cologne , Bonn and Berlin Lindlar was a 1940 published work on Hans Pfitzner's Piano Song Dr. phil. PhD . After the Second World War he worked as a music critic, initially for the General-Anzeiger in Bonn, and later also for various national daily newspapers and specialist publications. From 1952 he published the series Musik der Zeit , from 1958 the counterpoints .

In 1965 he went to the Freiburg University of Music , where he was appointed professor of modern music history. In 1969 he moved to Cologne as director of the Rheinische Musikschule . There he drove the expansion of the school into a modern conservatory until he left in 1976. He also taught at the Cologne University of Music and Dance . Heinrich Lindlar's often cited critical examination of the work of Karlheinz Stockhausen prompted him to resign from the management of the Cologne courses for new music at the Rheinische Musikschule when Lindlar became director of the institute.

Among his numerous publications, some are considered standard works, such as the dictionary of music published by Suhrkamp or his lexica on Igor Stravinsky and Béla Bartók .
