Georg Schlöndorff was the eldest of three sons of the ear, nose and throat doctor Georg Schlöndorff senior. His mother died in a kitchen fire in 1944.

Georg Schlöndorff studied medicine and completed his specialist training as an ear, nose and throat doctor with Hans Leicher at the University of Mainz . In 1959 he received his doctorate with the dissertation: " Hypertension and Binaural Test " and then moved to the University Hospital Bonn , where he was promoted to senior physician in 1965. In 1969 he completed his habilitation there with Walter Becker. After a short stopover in 1972 as chief physician in a Wiesbaden hospital, Schlöndorff accepted a call to the Aachen University Hospital in 1973 and, as Hugo Eickhoff's official successor, took over the position of chief physician at the ENT department there and the chair for ear, nose and throat medicine.

During Schlöndorff's time at the Aachen University Hospital, plastic-reconstructive surgery was promoted on his initiative and audiological work was expanded in a focus center. In cooperation with the local Institute for Telecommunications at RWTH Aachen University , Schlöndorff was able to develop a new speech processor for the cochlear implant procedure introduced in 1987 within two years . In addition, in the field of computer-assisted surgery , he dealt with image processing methods for preoperative planning and interoperative orientation in head surgery, which was later expanded into orbital surgery , neurosurgery , traumatology of the midface and brachytherapy of tumors in the head and neck area . Even after his retirement, he enriched this specialist area with technical innovations such as the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics .
