The couple had ten children, including four sons: Theodor Friedrich Trendelenburg (1755–1827), city physician in Lübeck and founder of the Medical Association, Johann Georg Trendelenburg (1757–1825), philologist and senator of the city of Danzig, Friedrich Wilhelm Trendelenburg (1761– 1835), lawyer and post commissioner, who in turn became the progenitor of a number of doctors, including Friedrich Trendelenburg , and Caspar Heinrich Trendelenburg, who studied law in Göttingen. Of the daughters, Sophie Christine (1759–1821) married the pharmacist Gabriel Ludolph Kindt (1748–1813) in Lübeck and became the mother of the pharmacists and naturalists Franz Friedrich Kindt and Georg Christian Kindt .

Trendelenburg took an active part in the sharp dispute between his teacher Haller and the physiologist Georg Erhard Hamberger , which concerned the role of the intercostal muscles in breathing, and which he published in which he refuted Hamberger's views with Haller.
