- Till Lindemann is a German musician, actor and poet. He is the lead singer of the German band Rammstein.
Till Lindemann was born in Leipzig, East Germany, but he grew up in the village of Wendisch-Rambow near Schwerin (in East Germany). His father was famous children's poet Werner Lindemann and his mother, Brigitte "Gitta" Hildegard Lindemann, was a journalist and writer until she retired. Till was in a relationship with Sophia Thomalla.
Lindemann started to play drums for First Arsch, who released an album titled Saddle Up, and played one song with a punk band called Feeling B (which was the former band of Rammstein members Paul H. Landers, Christoph "Doom" Schneider and Christian "Flake" Lorenz). In the 1990s, Lindemann began to write lyrics. In 1994, the trio entered and won a contest in Berlin, which allowed them to record a four track demo professionally. Then, the same year, Rammstein was founded.
In November 2002, Lindemann's poetry book "Messer" was published. It consists of 54 poems compiled by Gert Hof, who is author of the book Rammstein and was the band's pyro-designer for the last seven years. In October 2013, Till published his second poetry book "In Stillen Nächten".

- We're from the East [East Germany, GDR] and grew up as socialists. We used to be punks or goths - we hate Nazis! And then we suddenly get such a far-fetched accusation [that they would be on the right spectrum]. We are doing still the same today, and nobody in America or Mexico would get the idea to impute such things on us. That only happens here in Germany. Our reply to these hostilities was "Links 2 3 4", with that we have clarified where we politically stand.
