Lindenstraße (literally 'Lime Street') is a German television show on ARD's Das Erste, one of Germany's two publicly administered TV channels. The first episode was aired on December 8, 1985, and since then new episodes have been broadcast weekly. Its current timeslot on Das Erste is Sundays at 6:50 pm. The events of the Sunday episode usually take place on the Thursday before the show, based on the show's original airing the episodes Thursday night. Exceptions are the so-called holiday episodes that take place on Sunday, such as for Christmas and Easter and also on important election days (especially the election to the German Bundestag).

Setting the pace for other soap operas in Germany, the first episodes were met with mostly bad reviews.^{[citation needed]} However, Lindenstraße soon became one of the most successful shows on German TV and has gained enormous cultural significance.^{[citation needed]}

The creator of Lindenstraße is Hans W. Geißendörfer, whose company Geißendörfer Film- und Fernsehproduktion GmbH (GFF - "Geißendörfer film and TV productions") still produces the series today. In the beginning Geißendörfer also directed the series. It is set in Munich, but filmed at the WDR studios in Cologne-Bocklemünd where an entire outdoor street mock-up of the eponymous Lindenstraße was built. An actual street named 'Lindenstraße' exists in Munich's Harlaching district, but it has nothing to do with the series' fictional street.

The show is based on the long-running British soap Coronation Street, from which it borrows its main premise (the everyday life of a number of neighbours). It tackles topics such as racism, cancer, AIDS, Alzheimer's disease, disabilities (both physical and mental), and homosexuality. In 1987, it gained notoriety for showing the first primetime gay kiss on German television. The show is also known for its prompt incorporation of real-life events and current topics.

Dallas star Larry Hagman made a cameo appearance on Lindenstraße on February 19, 2006.
