Family/Background: He used to live with his two older sisters and his older brother and their parents. Somehow the marriage ended and their mother re-married so Richard lived with his mother and stepfather from he was very young. He was quite an odd kid. He was very loud, but he hardly never spoke and was teased alot by his sisters and brother and other friends as well. He is divorced, and he got re-married with the actress Caren Bernstein on October 29th, 1999. They met in New York and he purposed to her after one week!! Richard has a doughter that is known from the Live Aus Berlin video ("Tier") and is called Khira Li Lindemann. She was born in 1992. (Please don't mail me and tell me that she's Till's doughter 'cause she's not. Beleive me, I KNOW that. Her mum's name is Lindemann that's why she's named Lindemann too.)
Smokes?: yes
Piercing/tatoo: has a ring in his right ear
Other fun stuff: His acutal Christian name is Sven, not Richard!!! He lives in Berlin,
I've actually got his adress, but I refuse to give it out. He lives in the same house
as Rammstein's manager Emu. Richard was a wrestling champion as younger!!
Has worked as a cashier and a salesman. Lucky for us he founded Rammstein together with Schneider. Listened a lot to Kiss when he was younger, he does still I think. He also likes listening to Black Sabbath and AC/DC. Seems to value his family very high. Had sex the first time when he was 13. Has changed his name to Bernstein after the marriage with Carnon. Before that his name was Kruspe. He speaks very good English, despite he has learned the most from magazines. Does actually has a bit of stage fright!! He was actually the one who wrote
the lyrics to "Engel". Good work, Richard. "Engel" has one of my favourite lyrics.
My favourite Richard quotation: "Our lyrics aren't scandalous. They are just lovesongs from extreme angels" [We are supposed to take that with a grain of salt, right Richie!?]
 
Huge thanks to Susie and especially Sandra [Der Wahnsinn], Ann and Rick!!
