According to the district reorganization law and the resulting establishment of the Oder-Spree district on December 6, 1993, Rolf Lindemann was elected by the district council to a working group after the district was re-established.

In the following years Lindemann carried out various activities in the area of ​​the district administration. From 1994 to 2002 he was department head for law, organization and personnel, from 2002 to 2004 department head for law, order, veterinary affairs and agriculture and then until 2010 department head for basic security.

In the direct election to the district administrator on November 26, 2016, Lindemann received a total of 37 percent of the votes and thus entered the runoff election , which he was also able to win against Sascha Gehm from the CDU on December 11, 2016. However, since no representative election result was achieved due to the low turnout, there was a special district meeting on January 25, 2017, at which Rolf Lindemann was finally elected district administrator. Lindemann took office on February 9, 2017, replacing his non-party predecessor Manfred Zalenga .

Rolf Lindemann has been President of the District Synod in the Evangelical Church District Oder-Spree since April 2014 . He is married, has two daughters and lives in Beeskow .
