On June 15, 1917, as a pilot, he and his observer made a strategic long-distance flight from Sundgau to Champagne behind enemy lines. This 400-kilometer flight was the longest straight flight up to that point and provided valuable information to the army command. During the war he was promoted to lieutenant and on February 9, 1918, he was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Military Order of St. Heinrich and the Iron Cross of both classes.

After the war he took his leave and worked as a farmer and landowner in Simmatzig near Schivelbein in Western Pomerania.

Even before the takeover of the National Socialists came Neindorff the NSDAP and SA at. Immediately after the repeal of the nationwide SA and SS ban (from April 13 to June 14, 1932), he was promoted to SA Standartenführer with effect from July 1, 1932 , and from that day until September 30, 1933 he led the SA Standard 54 in Neustettin , which was subordinate to the SA sub-group Pomerania East.

After he had been promoted to SA Oberführer on April 20, 1934 , he officially led this brigade until October 8, 1934. Von Neindorff was also arrested in the course of the so-called " Röhm Putsch " on July 1, 1934 August 1934, according to a decree of the Supreme SA leadership, retroactively from the day of his imprisonment until the investigation proceedings pending against him have been carried out by the SA service. With the release of his previous position as leader of SA Brigade 7 and his rank, he finally left the SA on October 8, 1934 at his own request. Almost eight years later, on March 1, 1942, he was reassigned to the SA, with the award of his old rank and assignment to the staff of the SA group Berlin-Brandenburg as SA leader zV

From 1932 until the dissolution of this body in autumn 1933, Neindorff belonged to the Prussian state parliament .
