Lindenau
is a lunar impact crater. It is located beside the east-southeastern rim of
Zagut crater, and to the northeast of Rabbi Levi crater. To the northeast is
the slightly smaller Rothmann crater and the Rupes Altai scarp.
The rim of this crater has received very little wear, in contrast to the
neighboring craters to the west and southwest. The edge is sharp, with a
small outer rampart, and there are terraces along parts of the interior
wall. ALong the western edge is a small outward protrusion where the inner
face has slumped somewhat. The interior floor is irregular in places, and
there is a formation of central peaks about the mid-point.
