History
Lindau was mentioned in writing for the first time in 1184. Around 1322 Otto II of Woldenberg, bishop of Hildesheim, established the Mushaus (mashing house), today the oldest building of the municipality of Gemeinde Katlenburg-Lindau, and in which the Lindau administration was accommodated until 1741.
In the 19th Century Lindau's economy grew with a jute spinning mill set up by the Greve company (1872) and the brewery.
