from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Live and act

Hans-Joachim Lindemann was born in Berlin as the son of a senior government inspector and spent his childhood there. In 1939 he passed his Abitur and began studying medicine at Humboldt University . During the war he continued his studies until 1945 at the universities in Greifswald and Rostock . Upon completion of his studies, he was awarded a Dr. med. PhD . From 1945 to 1951, Lindemann completed his training as a specialist in gynecology and obstetrics in Hamburg at the St. Georg General Hospital and at the Harburg Hospital . His clinical teachers were Ludwig Seitz , Rudolf Cordua and Josef Nevinny-Stickel (* 1924), who was a visiting doctor in Hamburg-Eppendorf and from 1955 to 1989 in Berlin-Charlottenburg.

In 1952, Lindemann was appointed chief physician of the obstetric and gynecological department at the Deaconess Hospital in Hamburg. He headed the department until 1962. In 1965 he started working at the Michaelis Hospital in Hamburg and, after the restructuring of the Elisabeth Hospital in Hamburg, took over a position as chief physician.

At the suggestion of Klaus Thomsen , Lindemann dealt scientifically with researching the Cavum uteri . After a discussion at the Fertility Congress in Dubrovnik , Hans-Joachim Lindemann began to deal intensively with hysteroscopy in 1969 . He transferred his experience with laparoscopy to the examination of the uterine cavity, which he also expanded with carbon dioxide . This procedure was therefore also called CO 2 hysteroscopy.

In 1975 Hans-Joachim Lindemann completed his habilitation at the University of Hamburg and was appointed professor in 1980 . In the same year he founded the German Society for Gynecological and Obstetric Endoscopy with Kurt Semm , Hans Frangenheim and Friedhelm Lübke , which later became part of the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Gynäkologische Endoskopie e. V. (AGE) of the German Society for Gynecology and Obstetrics . In 1982 Hans-Joachim Lindemann was a founding member of the European Society for Hysteroscopy and became its first president.

He headed the clinic at the Elisabeth Hospital in Hamburg Lindemann until his retirement in 1985.

In 2012 Hans-Joachim Lindemann died at the age of 92 at his retirement home on Lake Starnberg .
