The son of a Berlin specialist in orthopedics studied medicine in Berlin and Tübingen from 1920 to 1926 .

In 1932 he completed his habilitation in orthopedics there.
In 1936 he took over the management of the Annastift Orthopedic Healing and Education Institute in Hanover , where he was medical director until 1954. In 1938 he also took on a teaching position for surgery and orthopedics at the University of Göttingen , where he was appointed associate professor in 1940 . During the Second World War he was also used as a medical officer . In 1953 he attached a school for occupational therapy to the monastery and in 1954, declining a call to Munich , accepted the one to Heidelberg, where he became full professor of orthopedics. In 1956 he was also appointed Medical Director of the Orthopedic University Clinic. In 1957 he was dean of the medical faculty in Heidelberg and in 1963/64 rector of the university.

The general assembly of the German Association for Rehabilitation elected Lindemann in December 1954 as chairman to succeed Georg Hohmann .
On Lindemann's initiative , the journal Die Rehabilitation was launched in 1962, following on from the tradition of Konrad Biesalski's magazine for cripple welfare and dealing with all questions of medical, school-professional and social integration . In its function as a scientific platform and publication organ of the association, not only experts from the various work areas but also those affected should have their say.
