Georg Kindermann grew up in Hanover, where he attended the public school in Meterstrasse in the southern part of the city . The school's deputy principal was Ferdinand Wilhelm Fricke . Born in 1863, as a schoolboy in the 1870s he had learned the lawn sport rugby, which was cultivated in large numbers in Hanover due to the former personal union between Great Britain and Hanover, and then, together with other wealthy citizens' sons, the later so named German Sports Club Hanover 1878 (DSV 1878) founded.

After the DSV of 1878 lacked opposing teams on site for many years, Fricke, who now teaches on Meterstrasse, asked the rugby-loving graduates of the school on Meterstrasse to found their own club in 1896. Just one day after a corresponding report in the daily newspaper Hannoverscher Anzeiger , Georg Kindermann became one of the co-founders of the “Hanoverian Football Club of 1896” on April 12, 1896 in the excursion restaurant Bella Vista . Together with his former classmates August Bormann, Arnold Fokke, Fritz Hoffmann, Fritz Köllermeyer, Franz and Wilhelm Namendorff, August Riehn and Ernst Witte, he initially played with the first rugby ball donated by Fricke on the playground next to the shooting range near Bella Vista near the future location of the Lower Saxony Stadium . On November 2, 1896, Georg Kindermann was also one of the players in the first game in the history of the Hannover 96 club against the B-team of the club called DFV 78 at the time. Kindermann then worked as a player at Hannover 96 until 1899. In 1939 and 1940, Kindermann was president of the Hannover 96 club, which he co-founded.

Among other things, Kindermann was responsible for the artistic painting of the ceiling in the first clubhouse of the Hannover 96 sports club on Misburger Damm , the historic road leading to the horse tower , which was later renamed Hans-Böckler-Allee .

After his training or his studies, Georg Kindermann taught in Hanover as a professor at the local arts and crafts school . One of his students was, for example, the painter and later teacher Karl Pohle . During the First World War , Kindermann designed, among other things, war postcards, but after the war he also designed books such as the cover design for a vermilion commemorative publication by Kurt Schwitters .

Several photographs from 1927 or 1928 show part of the artist group around Kurt Schwitters preparing for the Zinnoberfest, which are probably in Karl Reinecke-Altenau's studio apartment in Hanover-Linden in Blumenauer every few seconds Straße 8: The photos show Schwitters bent over a table, while “Prof. Kindermann ”, Carl Buchheister , Käte Steinitz , Hans Völker and Reinecke-Altenau surround him.
