Life

Laurentius was the son of the later Wittenberg professor Caspar Lindemann and his wife Margarethe Thümmel. In the winter semester 1532/33 he was matriculated at the University of Wittenberg . He continued his education in the winter semester of 1535 at the University of Leipzig and in January 1538 he was promoted to master's degree in philosophical sciences in Wittenberg. He then pursued legal studies, with Hieronymus Schurff in particular becoming his formative teacher. He followed this in 1547 to the University of Frankfurt / Oder , where he received his doctorate in law in the same year. Shortly afterwards he moved to the University of Greifswald , where he was professor of Roman law, at the same time councilor to Duke Philip of Pomerania , and in 1548 rector of the university . On January 10, 1549 Lindemann received a substitute professorship for canon law at the University of Wittenberg. In the following year he became a full professor, was dean of the law faculty in the winter semester 1550/51, in the summer semester 1552 he was rector of the alma mater all year round and rose to the first legal professorship in Wittenberg by 1555.

As early as January 7, 1554, he was elected councilor in Dresden and participated as an envoy from Saxony in various political and legal missions. In 1558 he became the Saxon court advisor and vice chancellor of the Saxon elector August . The state business demands meant that in 1561 he was able to choose a substitute for lectures at the Wittenberg University with the permission of the Elector. This became Justus Jonas the Younger . As the leading representative of the Saxon university, he became more and more involved in Saxon state affairs, so that in 1562 he was fully active at the court in Dresden. In 1563 Lindemann was raised to the nobility and was active for his elector as envoy at several imperial, Saxon state and district assemblies. In 1574 he took part in difficult negotiations with the Wittenberg University about deviations from the pure teaching of Martin Luther. After the death of his former comrade Georg Cracow , Lindemann was deported from Saxon court services as district administrator in 1576. In this capacity he can be found again in several Saxon state parliaments.
