Till grew up in the village of Wendisch-Rambow, alongside his younger sister Saskia. His family wasn’t a whole one, his parents lived apart for career reasons and got divorced when he (Lindemann) was still very young. He had to live with his father for a while but had to leave when their relationship became unhealthy.

Landers.
