History

1090 Lindorf is first mentioned in the Bempflingen contract. A "Wernher von Lindorf" is named in this contract as a witness. In the 12th century the place was owned by the House of Zähringen. About the Counts of Aichelberg and the Duke of Teck the village finally came to Württemberg.

On April 1, 1935 the forced incorporation to Kirchheim was carried out, council and mayor were abolished. Only in 1992 was decided by the Kirchheim council to set up again an Ortschaftsrat in Lindorf and to appoint an honorary mayor.
