Brigitte “Gitta” Lindemann, a prominent German journalist, poet, and author, has passed away at the age of 87. Her family confirmed to the Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR) that she died on Saturday, October 24, 2026, at her home in Nordwestmecklenburg.
Lindemann had a significant career in German media, having studied journalism in Leipzig and worked for East German broadcasting in Neubrandenburg and Rostock. From 1992 to 2002, she led the cultural editorial department for NDR in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. She was also an accomplished writer, recently presenting her poetry volume “Lautlos” at the Leipzig Book Fair.
