* TheBully: Both Ulrich and Katharina relentlessly bullied Regina in their youth – in part because Regina's shy, nerdy character made her an easy target to begin with, but also because they were wrongly led to believe that she [[spoiler:accused Ulrich of rape]].
* CosmicHorrorStory: The series veers into this if you subscribe to Noah's theory that [[spoiler:free will is nothing but an illusion and everything was already predetermined from the beginning of time itself]].

However, they refuse to split up for the sake of their children, and outwardly pretend to be a happy couple (which, as pointed out by their daughter Franziska, only makes things worse for her and her sister).
* PoliceAreUseless:
** Even in 2019, Ulrich is still bitter about the fact that the police were unable to find his missing brother 33 years ago, blaming it on former chief of police Egon Tiedemann's [[TheAlcoholic drinking problem]] and general incompetence. Subverted in that, unbeknownst to Ulrich, Egon really was trying his hardest to solve the case and actually came pretty close to identifying the culprit, but obviously had no way of knowing that [[spoiler:time travel]] was involved.
** Completely averted with Charlotte, who, by the end of Season 1, [[spoiler:has managed to figure out the mystery all on her own, without any explicit help from the future]].
