Lindemann studied law at the universities in Bonn, Heidelberg and Berlin from 1851 to 1854. He was elected mayor of Essen in December 1858. He held this office nine years from 1859 to 1868. He resigned from office and worked as a bank director of the Westdeutschen Versicherungs-Aktienbank and then as general director of the Bochumer Verein für Bergbau und Gußstahlfabrikation (BVG), an iron factory, belonging to Friedrich Grillo.^[1]

The father of three sons and two daughters died on 8 May 1900. His oldest son, Georg Heinrich Ernst Lindemann, was the father of the Captain of the battleship Bismarck, Otto Ernst Lindemann.^[2]
