Woman tells that she had sex with Lindemann several times when she was 15

Rammstein singer Till Lindemann is exposed to new revelations. As the “Spiegel” brought to light in an extensive research, Lindemann is said to have had a sexual relationship with a then 15-year-old in 2011. This emerges from the stories and records of the woman and her family and friends.

Accordingly, the 28-year-old is the best friend of the daughter of a Rammstein member. In 2010, this friend met Lindemann on vacation. Alcohol was spilled. On one evening, the then 15-year-old and the famous singer kissed.

“It was a different world with Till”

After that, the two stayed in touch. Several months later, there were multiple visits to Lindemann’s apartment, during which both had sex. Lindemann told the girl that he was in love. The young woman says today that she also had feelings of being in love and took the initiative herself. At the time, she wrote in her diary: “What I find most odd is that he gets involved with me.”

She also says, according to “Spiegel”: “I felt like I saw the desire to be an adult. It was like a different world with Till. And he gave me the feeling that I could take a place at his side.” Today she knows: “I was far too young.” She couldn’t see what she was doing and what impact it could have on her life.

Father of the 15-year-old: “I was beside myself with anger”

The then 15-year-old confided in friends and her younger sister, and there were rumors about the relationship around the band. She didn’t tell her parents. But in 2012 the father found out about it anyway and confronted his daughter. “I was beside myself with anger,” he tells the “Spiegel”. He had let his daughter go on vacation, where she met Lindemann.

The father caused the relationship to end. However, he did not file a complaint. Lindemann is said to have had a conversation with the father as well as with the mother and daughter.

Lindemann has so far left the new revelations to the “Spiegel” unanswered. Two band members who are said to have found out about the relationship deny this.

Years later, the woman had sex with Lindemann again

The 28-year-old woman says that her relationship with Lindemann has changed her significantly. She felt older, skipped school, drank a lot. She would have had an extremely difficult love life after that.

And she met Lindemann again in 2016 when she was 21. In the following years, there were several consensual sex. That only came to an end in 2019.

Now she is making her story public. She has been silent long enough, she tells the “Spiegel”. She is now aware that she was harmed at the time. The fact that the band is still pretending that everything is fine “I found ignorant and a slap in the face to the women,” she says.

Sex between adults and minors is generally not punishable. From the age of 14 people are considered capable of consenting to sexual contact – regardless of the age of the adult. However, sex can be punishable if, for example, young people lack the ability for sexual self-determination – such as in a major power imbalance between young people and adults.

In-depth questions & answers on the topic:

Is Till Lindemann a narcissist?

It would be unprofessional to call Till Lindemann a narcissist. As a rock star, he is known for his provocative style. The question should rather be how he uses his stage power and whether he has abused it.

What characterizes the relationship between groupies and extroverted music stars?

Extroverted musicians exude a strong attraction to groupies. Groupies try to get close to the musicians and establish short-lived personal relationships. This dynamic is seen as problematic in today’s MeToo era.
