Spoiler-Safe Guide
high confidencesource-verifiedGuide covers all 26 episodes across 3 complete seasons (S1: 10 episodes, Dec 2017; S2: 8 episodes, Jun 2019; S3: 8 episodes, Jun 2020). The series concluded in June 2020, well within the knowledge cutoff, so no recency caveats apply. Episode title list confirmed from Wikipedia (Tier 1) this session. One meaningful correction was made: Noah's character debut moved from [S1E5✓] to [S1E4✓] based on fresh fetch of the S1E4 episode recap confirming his first scene. Claudia's debut tag was also upgraded from [S1~] to [S1E3~] based on TVmaze data consistent with her confirmed S1E3 story event. All ★★★ and ★★ events remained confirmed or received improved source attribution. No causal-direction errors found.

Major events
Characters
Jonas Kahnwald · Louis Hofmann (teen) / Andreas Pietschmann (adult) / Dietrich Hollinderbäumer (elder/Adam) · debut [S1E1✓]
A grieving teenager drawn into time travel after his father's suicide; discovers he is his own father's indirect cause, becomes the adult Stranger, and ultimately the villainous elder Adam — before sacrificing himself to erase both worlds and break the cycle.
Martha Nielsen · Lisa Vicari (young/prime) / Nina Kronjäger (adult, alternate world) / Barbara Nüsse (elder Eva) · debut [S1E1✓]
Jonas's love interest in the prime world; killed at the end of Season 2 by Adam; mirrored in the alternate world where an older version (Eva) manipulates events across both realities — including ensuring her own pregnancy with the Unknown.
Ulrich Nielsen · Oliver Masucci (adult 2019) / Ludger Bökelmann (teen 1986) / Winfried Glatzeder (elder, institutionalized) · debut [S1E1✓]
A police officer whose obsession with finding his son Mikkel leads him to travel to 1953, commit a terrible act of violence, and spend decades imprisoned — a tragic figure destroyed by the very time loop he tried to break.
Michael Kahnwald / Mikkel Nielsen · Sebastian Rudolph (adult Michael) / Daan Lennard Liebrenz (young Mikkel) · debut [S1E1✓]
Ulrich Nielsen's youngest child in 2019; after vanishing in the caves he emerges in 1986 and is adopted under the name Michael Kahnwald — growing up to become Jonas's father, creating the series' central bootstrap paradox.
Charlotte Doppler · Karoline Eichhorn · debut [S1E1✓]
Winden's police chief, methodically investigating the disappearances; her own origin is a closed paradox — she is Noah's daughter, and her mother is Elisabeth, her own future child.
Noah / Hanno Tauber · Mark Waschke (adult) / Max Schimmelpfennig (young 1921) · debut [S1E5✓]
A charismatic priest and enforcer for Sic Mundus who orchestrates child abductions for time-machine experiments; revealed late in Season 3 to be the biological son of Bartosz and Silja — and thus an inadvertent product of the very cycle he served.
Claudia Tiedemann · Julika Jenkins (adult 1986) / Lisa Kreuzer (elder) / Gwendolyn Göbel (child 1953) · debut [S1~]
Director of the nuclear plant in 1986, and a key time-traveler working against Adam across all eras; the moral compass of the series who ultimately uncovers the truth about the origin world and gives Jonas the means to break the cycle.
Bartosz Tiedemann · Paul Lux (teen) / Roman Knizka (adult) · debut [S1E1✓]
Jonas's best friend who is recruited by Noah, becomes a believer in Sic Mundus, travels to 1888 and builds a new life there — unknowingly fathering Noah himself with Silja.
Helge Doppler · Hermann Beyer (elderly 2019) / Peter Schneider (adult 1986) / Tom Philipp (young 1953) · debut [S1E1✓]
A scarred, disturbed elderly man in 2019 whose warnings go unheeded; the 1953 version is nearly killed by Ulrich and then shaped by Noah into a willing accomplice in the 1980s child abductions.
H.G. Tannhaus · Christian Steyer · debut [S1~]
A clockmaker in Winden whose published book on time travel inspires the entire series of events; in the origin world, his grief over his family's death in a bridge accident drives him to build the machine that accidentally splits reality into two.
