Till Lindemann, the frontman of the German industrial metal band Rammstein, is currently suing popular German News outlet Der Spiegel over claims that they allegedly used allegedly falsified documents in an attempt at alleged trial fraud (via consequence). 

Last year, multiple female fans of the band Rammstein made claims of alleged sexual misconduct against the frontman, Till Lindemann. They alleged that the frontman was allegedly taking advantage of women in their fan-club, and at backstage VIP experiences. These allegations were denounced by the band and Lindemann himself. However a police investigation was opened in June of 2023 and then closed in August of the same year. The discourse surrounding the allegations has closely followed the band through their stadium tour even as they attempt to clear up the charges. 

Due to this, Lindemann’s attorney is now suing Der Spiegel for their coverage of the allegations. Lindemann has alleged that Der Spiegel allegedly used allegedly falsified documents in their press and podcast coverage and that the news outlet allegedly attempted to commit alleged trial fraud. This is not the first time Lindemann’s legal team has gone against a press outlet. In 2023, they won a case against U.K. news outlet The Mirror for an article they published about the allegations. 

Lindemann is still looking forward to his music career as he prepares for his first solo tour starting this September.
