WooT!!! After almost a hundred hours of work, I have finally finished the world’s first “The Definitive Netflix Dark Season 3 Family Tree.” If you searched for Dark Season 3 Family Tree, you know what I’m talking about. All those other posts don’t even try. You, right now, are desperate to find a map to what the heck is going on in Dark…from front, to back. From Dark Season 1, episode 1, all the way through to Dark season 3, episode 8…you are dying to know how it all fits together. I know you are, because as soon as I finished episode 8, I was like WAHHHHT!?!? And had to basically watching everything over again to piece it all together again for you guys.
I have been talking about Netflix’s amazing television show since it first come out. You can see some of the numerous posts I’ve made about this show here, here, and here. And although, I seriously considered posting this as a poster that you could buy, I got shot down by lawyers, and what nots. Why? Because it is worth $10 just from a peace of mind standpoint. But something about copyright. So, I’m not going to sell it to you. I’m giving it away. But if you could donate, it’d help me recoup the hours and hours and hours I’ve poured into my Dark Season 1-3 family trees. It’d be a huge help. And you’ll feel like a champ knowing you are supporting crazy people like myself building crazy things like this! hahah.

Dark Family Tree Season 3 Explained
First and foremost, these maps will snap your head clean off if you haven’t watched this show from beginning to end. But! If you have only seen Season 1, you are welcome to check out my Season 1 Family Tree. If you’ve Season 2, then you are welcome to my Dark Season 2 family tree. You getting how this is working? Great. So, first, remember to donate, THEN, because some of you have a trouble with this, click the image below, in order to get to the BIG BIG version. The writing is super small, and you have to zoom in order to really see all that is going on.
Season 1 Family Tree
Oh, I remember those days. Back when we thought there was just one crazy, time traveling world to keep track of! We were so naive. But then came Season 2 of Dark and it blew our minds!
Season 2 Family Tree
Man, it took me so many hours to untangle the new messes that Season 2 brought to the family tree. So many headaches to keep track of. So many entanglements! Oh, but then Alt-Martha appeared at the end of Dark Season 2, and woah, did it destroy that family tree!!!
Season 3 Family Tree
Take a deep breath. We can do this together. Heck, breath into a bag for a second if you need to. Personally have an straight oxygen face mask on right now…about to go straight up catatonic I’m that wigged out. Maybe I’ll give you one more chance to make a donation before we get to the Dark Season 3 full family tree?!? Can’t give you guys too many chances!!
This image is BIG. Like, 10 or 15 times bigger than your laptop screen. Literally, it’s too big to fit on the side of a building. Which means, you’ll need to zoom in to really read it, and understand the various links between families and worlds. So, I will give you the entire file here. Just click on the image, and let it load. (RIP my hosting bandwidth! Oh my gosh. My bill this month is going to be outrageous!! hahaha.)
Come on. That thing is goodness and light. But, you know what? I know it’s not perfect. And, if you see something that isn’t right, or that you’d like added, just mention it in the comments. I’ve been too close to it for too many hours straight. So all help will be greatly appreciated.
Alright! There you have it. What did you think of my Definitive Netflix Dark Season 3 Family Tree? My episode by episode break down will be coming out soon. But I needed to get the Dark Season 3 Family Tree off of my back first. PHEW. Alright, now I’m done with it. Glad that is over with. Love to hear your thoughts, and tweaks in the comments below. Thanks!
And while there is literally no other show like Dark – but if you are looking for something in the same vein – here are my top 3 picks:

You did a great job. I’m eagerly waiting your write up of everything that happened in season 3. It was so important to remember details from both previous seasons to even have a clue about the final season and I think I got it but I’m still waiting to discuss to see what I may have missed. So bummed the shoe is over but best to go out on a high note. Too bad we will never get resolution on the OA, though.
July 7, 2020 at 7:09 pm
Elisabeth and Franziska’s names are mirrored in Adam’s world.
July 7, 2020 at 7:12 pm
Thanks Lisa, I really appreciate it. I’m working on the season walk through currently. I’ll publish it soon. Even though I’m not done. And I’ll just keep adding to it as I go.
And Anon! Thanks so much for that. Much appreciated.

Get rid of the stupid useless ads
July 8, 2020 at 9:17 am
No one loves ads but it costs money to host a site like this and he does this for free for our pleasure so we can discuss these shows and films. The ads on this site are not super bad compared to some. It only takes a second to click an X.
July 8, 2020 at 9:54 am
The poster is awesome. I know I missed some details over the course of the series. But I thoroughly enjoyed Season 3 and the series as a whole. Really looking forward to the walk-through.
July 8, 2020 at 10:09 am
Hey Mike,
Let’s talk about this a second. I really do think your point is valid. When I run around the web and read articles, I too can get frustrated by popup after popup, and video ads blaring at me. I’ve tried to walk a balance here. My goal? Literally just break even. My hosting, ssl certs, email lists, domain name, etc. run me a few thousand a year. I just want to raise enough money to pay for the costs to keep the site up. I have a volunteer editor (hey CY, love you!) that gets paid nothing. I get paid nothing. And yet I usually write 2-4 posts a week, and they run 3,000 words a post. (Long form posts, if I were to charge myself for my writing, each post would run me $1,000 to $2,000 a post – source: https://lacyboggs.com/how-much-should-you-pay-a-blog-writer/)… but instead, there is maybe a couple hundred bucks left over at the end of the year for “profits”.
And that’s AFTER I annoy you with “stupid useless ads”. And my blog gets pretty decent traffic. Last year was over 3 million visitors. There are about 100, or 150 people on here right now while you are reading this comment. Not bad. Not great. But, ads don’t profit me much, even with that kind of traffic.
So, to avoid REALLY REALLY STUPID AND ANNOYING ADS, what do I do? Because yes, it could be much worse. I ask for donations when I spend hundreds of hours on an infographic. I pitch you guys on my society6 historical godzilla posters. Some advertisers will pay me $100 a post to include a link to their site. But I write the post, and create the link. By my math I lose $1900 on that transaction every time I do it. But even so, I literally try and find a bunch of little ways to make a little bit here and there to avoid really pissing the Mikes of this world off.
Hell, I agree with you Mike. I read this site more than you do. I get the same ads you do. Would I prefer it if you’d be my sugar daddy, and you’d drop $100k on me so I can I can actually give this site the attention it deserves? SURE! hahaha. But, as it is, I work a 60 hour job in the real world. I have a side web business where I build websites for people… AND, I don’t sleep, so that I can watch movies and write 3,000 word write ups in my “Spare” time. Oh, and I try to say hello to my kids occasionally. But I ditch sleep, and spend the time here it requires, because I enjoy it.
And yet, I still agree with you Mike. I’ve considered creating a patreon system to allow you to buy premium content. But everything tells me you wouldn’t pay for content no matter how cool it was. Why? Because you can find someone else talking about that movie you just finished over that way —–> for free.
I’m open to ideas here. But I’m particularly sensitive about it because the post you chose to say this on, is the one I spent over a hundred hours to create. And this post will generate maybe $100 in revenue this coming year (in donations, in ad content, all of it) and that’s if it goes really really big. Like 100,000 visitors, etc. That means, in a year… IN A YEAR, I’ll make something like a buck an hour for creating this page. And as I mentioned, all of that money will actually go towards sunk costs. Hosting and the like.
So Mike. Seriously. What should I do? You tell me. Literally. Web readers do not, do not, do not, donate. Web readers really don’t click ads. (That’s when the ad is actually valuable). As Lisa said, they normally just click the x and move on. But I don’t want to make the site a pay-to-read fenced community like the New York Times, the Atlantic, etc. But the financial questions they have are the same ones I face every single day.
I’m open to thoughts. Literally. I’ll make changes today if you guys have ideas. Maybe this should have been a post, instead of a comment reply. Who knows. Sorry if I backed the truck up… but dude, 100 hours of work and this is what you got for me? Wow.

July 8, 2020 at 12:01 pm
I think I bought a sweater once after clicking a link on here so hopefully you benefited from that. This just irks me a bit because in the world of online content most people expect just about everything for free. I know I’m no better and get annoyed when I click something and it’s stuck behind a paywall but then I remember someone worked hard on that content. So now I have so many subscriptions I can’t even keep track anymore! Anyway, keep doing what you’re doing. Most of us understand advertising is a necessary evil. Btw, I noticed comments are posting much faster lately after showing up in my email so kudos for whatever you did! Impatiently waiting the episode walk though and of course wanting to discuss the ending!
July 8, 2020 at 12:38 pm
99% of the visitors here are super understanding, and super sweet. Lisa, you are like a top 1% of the top 1%! hahaha. Please don’t feel chided by me. That isn’t my intent. I’m just laying some truth down about the realities of the day. That’s all.
Oh, and the first episode of my walk through is up, by the way. I’ll keep writing over the next day or two. You should see it updating as I go: https://taylorholmes.com/2020/07/08/netflix-dark-season-3-walkthrough-explanation/
July 8, 2020 at 12:39 pm
You forgot to tie the knot between young Elisabeth and older Elisabeth.
July 8, 2020 at 12:46 pm
In the origin world Hannah is pregnant with a boy, she says she would like to name him Jonas.
July 8, 2020 at 12:48 pm
In the origin world, the daughter of Marek and Sonja is called Charlotte.
July 8, 2020 at 1:08 pm
So Awesome! I have been referring to your tree often. This season is so complicated. It’s hard to keep up with all the Marthas. I am having to rewatch episodes to even try and understand half of what’s going on.
July 8, 2020 at 8:12 pm
Yeah,
I fixed that three times, and keep overwriting it in my final file. For some reason that baby doesn’t want to be Charlotte in this family tree! hahaha. Appreciate the help.
Taylor
July 8, 2020 at 8:12 pm
And this one I did not have. Thank you. Very good. The most important circle in Origin world.
July 8, 2020 at 8:13 pm
How? I have Elisabeth, the grandmother of Elisabeth the granddaughter… how else would you do it?
July 8, 2020 at 8:35 pm
But if Jonas is in Origin world, shouldn’t there be a Martha? Could it be that Katharina will have Martha, but she isn’t pregnant yet? Ulrich isn’t there… so? Just thinking out loud.
July 9, 2020 at 4:17 pm
Corrections:
1) Adam kills Adam’s Martha, so I would put Adam’s Martha with a red outline, like
Yasin and Mads
2) remove Eva from Adam’s Martha, which is from Eva’s world – I refer you to Netflix’s official explanation video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkH3G2YGr0o
3) The overlapping purple line makes it look like Adam’s Marek and Adam’s Elizabeth had Adam’s Charlotte
4) Adam’s Elizabeth and Adam’s Franziska’s names are not backwards. The show had Eva’s Elizabeth and Eva’s Franziska’s names backwards to show that it’s the alternate world, AKA Eva’s world, AKA the darkest timeline lol
5) Elizabeth Tannhaus IS Elizabeth Doppler. You can have the Tannhaus background fade into the Doppler background
6) Same with Mikkel Nielson and Michael Kahnwald. Fade purple into red. Or do the green dotted line to Elizabeth Tannhaus and Doppler
Missing Potraits from Adam’s world:
1) Doris from Season 3 with color
2) Elderly Helge Doppler
3) Child Tronte
4) Child Jana
5) Child Ines
6) Teen Aleksander
7) Child Regina
8) Child Peter
9) Teen Ulrich
10) Elderly Franziska
11) Eva’s Hannah has Jonas with the same portrait as origin world Marek + Sonya
Questions:
1) when did the Unknown and Agnes have a Tronte?
2) Which episode is Daniel Kahnwald in?
3) Which episode is Hermann Kahnwald in?
July 9, 2020 at 6:54 pm
Hey Kenshin,
Nice work. There is literally no way I’m making all your change suggestions, but I am currently working on many of them.
Like for example, your notes make me think that I need to bring back the murdered lines for Yasin, Mads, etc. And I’m working on that now. Your note about Adam killing Alt1 Martha is a great one… which is why I’m bringing the kill lines back.
2) I removed Eva from Adam’s Martha circle.
3) I see that Marek actually just moved too far to the left. I moved him a hundred pixels right, and it’s more clear what is happening there. That bit is confusing! hahah.
4) I fixed the backwards names. Basically, how I created that side, I just took it, flipped it, and then covered the names with correct direction names. I just forgot those. But yeah, Not sure you all noticed, but when we flip from Alt1 to Alt2 the scars etc flip to help know what world we are in. Took me a while to figure that out while watching the show.
5) Do you mean dither orange to green in the background? hehehe. You are geeking out right now man.
6) I did the green dotted line from Elisabeth to Elisabeth
…
I’m still working on it. It’ll take me a bit to publish out the new changes.
Thanks everyone for your help.
July 9, 2020 at 7:42 pm
As to your questions – I defaulted who was in the origin world by mirroring the netflix dark family tree mainly. I might have taken a liberty or two? I don’t recall.
July 9, 2020 at 8:58 pm
Alright,
I’ve taken most of the recommended changes, updated the file, and republished it. I ditched the Full Version split – because it’s just a pain to keep publishing a small and large version of 8 different photos for each edit that I do. Maybe after the changes settle down I’ll push three photos of the big version again. Who knows.
Let me know if I screwed up with version 3 of the family tree. I’ve appreciated your comments so far. They’ve been great.
Taylor
July 9, 2020 at 9:58 pm
claudia and bernd always had regina even in adam’s world, dna doesn’t change and make the same person, tronte was never regina’s father, it’s even said by claudia in 3×07.
July 9, 2020 at 10:46 pm
The way you did it is perfect!!!, this family tree is better than the one they have in the official site, I mean, theirs is good but some key people are missing. Cheers!
July 9, 2020 at 10:54 pm
Yep, it could be that soon enough there will be a Martha in the origin world so they can finally get together for real.
On another thought, it would be great to have a theory of the very first time travel and conception that lead to all the knots, I have tried but just can’t figure out how. I think it is best to not know and be satisfied with: the beginning is the end and the end the beginning.
Sorry if this is a duplicate response, had a little trouble and had to hit submit three times (this is the third one).
July 9, 2020 at 10:55 pm
It is a glitch in the matrix lol, I see it’s fixed now, thanks!
July 10, 2020 at 7:00 am
Yeah – you are totally right. I’m not sure where I got that idea stuck in my head. Thanks for straightening me out!
July 10, 2020 at 7:49 am
To answer your question #1 – read this page – notice the bio information for Tronte’s father. Also, the comments talk about this detail extensively: https://dark-netflix.fandom.com/wiki/Tronte_Nielsen
As for your questions #2 & #3, I don’t understand what you are asking. In season 3? They aren’t.
July 10, 2020 at 4:22 pm
Ok, so I’ve removed the parental connection between tronte and regina. And I have re-added the parental connection to regina. My apologies everyone. I got a little conspiratorial there for a minute. I’ve also added a legend in the bottom right corner explaining what the dotted lines mean. I’ll get it uploaded here soon.
Taylor

July 11, 2020 at 9:14 pm
Great work! Just a couple of things…
Marek and Sonja aren’t siblings. The way it is shown in Adam’s and Eve’s world seems like they are…
And why do you have the dotted line from tannhaus to older elisabeth? it makes it seem that Tannhaus raised her. I don’t know, maybe I’m the only one getting confused by that.
That should be it. Keep up the good work
July 18, 2020 at 3:56 pm
You have so many ads, you don’t need to beg for money. Stop whining about hosting costs, Imgur (and a host of other vendors) would host these images for you for free.
July 19, 2020 at 8:48 am
We can talk about my hosting plan in detail if you’d like. I’ll post all various costs and a detailed walk through of each one. Yes, I don’t pay for bandwidth. That was hyperbole. You obviously have never seen what an ad will generate for a blog – or how often a random web user will donate. Have you not noticed that in the last 20 years almost all the really fun, quirky bloggers have all folded? It’s now dominated exclusively by the bigs. And even they are having a super hard time staying open.
Yeah, I get what I did here was cheesy. Part of me doesn’t care. Since I published it, this page has gotten 30% of this site’s traffic. So I was recouping. I’ll dial back the asks for donations dramatically. But at the end of the day web users – like myself – we are spoiled in assuming that all content should be free. I swear, I’m talking to myself right now. I wouldn’t pay to listen to some guy rant about movies. But I definitely was being opportunistic in the timing of asking for donations.
I want this post to be about Dark. Sorry it got highjacked everyone.
July 19, 2020 at 12:34 pm
Wow. What an obnoxious comment. It’s not about hosting the images for free, it’s about the hours and hours of work he put in creating the file for you and others. Do you not pay your hair stylist or for your meal that someone cooked when you go to a restaurant? Taylor, you should not have to defend yourself against such nonsense. And it’s there for free even if you don’t donate one red cent so I can’t even imagine what you are complaining about!
July 20, 2020 at 7:24 pm
Taylor, you should just ditch negative comments and not comment on them at all. Obviously, that person is just looking for attention and a rise out of you. Don’t waste your energy.
July 20, 2020 at 9:29 pm
wow this is so amazing! thank you so much for taking time out of your day to make this! i definitely tried to keep up with the characters and sometimes i would even pause the show when a character pops up and think to myself, uhhh which one is this and when haha. keep up the great work man!
July 20, 2020 at 11:03 pm
Thanks Kat – Really appreciate the support.
July 20, 2020 at 11:04 pm
Glad it helps Tiff!! Trust me, my brain is still struggling to rebalance after all that. Hahaha. Great show though.
July 23, 2020 at 1:03 am
Great job! Though I could be mistaken, I’m pretty sure it’s Charlotte(not Elizabeth) that is taken to and raised by Tannhaus, who then later gets married and has Elizabeth who later gets with Noah and has Charlotte….so it’s continuous mother/daughter loop. They are both each others mother and daughter. But I don’t know that Tannhaus ever even met Elizabeth, he certainly didn’t raise her. It’s all a super confusing mess I know, it’s fun to piece it all together though!
July 24, 2020 at 11:12 pm
This is amazing, thank you so much! My only nitpick is that you forgot to refer to Martha as Martha/Eve in Eva’s world. I’m sure it was just an exhaustion induced oversight though.
July 25, 2020 at 11:07 am
First, OMG, thank you for doing this. I can’t even imagine the time it took and boo to those griping about ads. I mean, seriously?
So, I’m confused. When did Hannah go back and have a tryst with Egon in Eva’s world? They didn’t show that. If that’s the case how did Noah and Agnes even come to be since there was no Silja to get with Bartosz?
July 25, 2020 at 8:58 pm
Thank you for your work, Taylor Holmes. Just to let you know, when we click on Season Two’s Family Tree image, it brings us to Season One’s Family Tree.
July 26, 2020 at 5:16 am
There’s a murderous connection missing between Helene and Katharina in Adam’s World
July 26, 2020 at 5:25 pm
Yup. Totally missed that one. Thanks!
July 26, 2020 at 5:35 pm
I updated that connection – it doesn’t show on the smaller preview, only on the larger fullblown image.
t
July 26, 2020 at 5:40 pm
Egon Tiedemann (Claudia’s father) also exists in the origin world, I think.
July 26, 2020 at 5:46 pm
You are probably 100% right. This might have just been a connection I carried over from Adam’s world. Lots and lots of little details here and there and everywhere. That’ll be a bugger of a connection to remove! hahaha…
Thanks for the heads up.
July 26, 2020 at 5:48 pm
Well,
This was sort of intentional and not. I didn’t know how to denote her, and I even considered creating an EVE and a Martah – like I had in season 1 with Adam. But thought better of it. But I can change her name, easy enough.
I’ll add it to the list of changes to make.
THANKS anon… or Will. whichever.
Taylor
July 26, 2020 at 9:44 pm
This one comment Susan – it’s driving me crazy. No one has Eva’s world’s tree right. I know this for a fact. Even the official family trees are lacking. But just your comment about Hannah and Egon… it’s deleting large swaths of Eva’s world! hahah. Better yet, it obliterates Noah and Agnes, and now I don’t know who killed the boys. Did Noah et al. cross over and kill them? I think so? So I need to create lines going from one side to the other, no? Gah. hahaha. I’m getting close.
July 27, 2020 at 3:45 pm
Erik doesn’t have a murder link to Noah in Jonas World
July 27, 2020 at 3:57 pm
Here’s the question of the hour though…
Did Adam’s World Noah kill, Eva’s world Yasin and Erik? Because, I’m discovering, that there couldn’t have been a Noah and Agnes in Eva’s world… No? Thoughts?
July 28, 2020 at 2:03 am
Hi,
Great Work…love it.
Regarding the Origin World, it looks like Greta is Bernd daughter…which is not the case right?
Regarding Eva’s World and Silja…why could Silja not just be the daughter of Hannah and Ulrich…does it necessary needs to have to be Egon the father?
July 28, 2020 at 2:55 am
Another tought regarding Silja.
In Adam’s world it is said that silja is the daughter of Hannah and Egon.
In Eva’s world Hannah is pregnant from Ulrich so if she gives birth to Silja, then Ulrich is her father.
Now, who sais that in Adam’s world Egon is Silja’s father? Hannah had an long affaire with Ulrich before traveling back and have an affaire with Egon…I’m not sure if it is said how long is Hannah already in the 50’s before knowing that she is pregnant (if someone knows please tell me :)), but perhaps Hannah was already pregnant from Ulrich when she went to the 50’s and having an affaire with Egon!
This would make Ulrich silja’s father in both worlds and close the loop!
Cheers
July 28, 2020 at 3:19 am
I’m pretty sure there was a Noah in Eva’s World. Eva sent Egon back to get Hannah just as she is having her miscarriage of Ulrich’s child in that world right before the apocalypse at the end of episode six “Egon, you must create your past to preserve the family tree.” Meaning that he needs to bring Hannah to his younger self to have his baby who can then be the mother to Noah and Agnes and all of that jazz.
July 28, 2020 at 3:26 am
Also, wondering where all of the new names come from in the Origin World family tree and how Bernd goes from being Helge’s father and Greta’s husband in Adam’s World to being Greta’s father and Helge’s grandfather in the Origin World?
Thanks for all this by the way. Much better done than the one I did in pen in my notebook.
July 28, 2020 at 7:14 am
Marc,
I believe that it Doris says that it has been 3 months since Agnes went missing, which was around the same time Hannah arrived, and since they tend to keep the timelines in sync 33 years apart that also matches with how long Mikkel and Ines have been gone when Katharina is back in ’86. Also, Ulrich had been missing for around 7 months when Hannah went back so there is no way that the child could be his. Since Silja would have to have the same parents in both worlds she would Egon makes the most sense. Now it is possible that she goes through with the abortion of Egon’s child and in both timelines ends up getting pregnant by someone else entirely but (maybe the Unknown), Silja is probably Egon’s daughter in both timelines.
July 28, 2020 at 10:27 pm
OMG! Congratulations for the work. It is AMAZING! I just didn’t understand what the line that goes from Bernd to Claudia means. BTW, thank you for doing this.
July 29, 2020 at 2:54 am
What do you mean by Hannah is not 100%? Cannot get it at all.
July 30, 2020 at 5:24 pm
Look, Mateus, Everyone…
I literally lose an hour and a half every time I open this Photoshop file. And when you guys comment about little tweaks here and there my brain literally breaks. About a week ago, someone commented, and said something about someone not being in eva’s world and – I really think they are right. (I’m not on the comments page right now, so I can’t see which comment it was) And that ended up with me going into my file and deleting half the connections and people in Eva’s world. But then, I realized it just didn’t all add up. And the “official” family tree from Eva’s world doesn’t add up either. So, I’m a bit a loss right now as to what to do.
Maybe in the next week or so I’ll get the time to walk back through it again. But right now, I’d rather default with TOO MANY people than not enough. And that’s my official position at this moment. But the rest of the site has to sort of continue at this point. I’ve got interviews I’m working on- and 4 new movies that need write ups. Anyone want to start working for THiNC. at zero pay and less than zero appreciation? hahaha.
Taylor
July 31, 2020 at 5:54 pm
Great Job! Best tree in Internet for today.
But:
1) Tannhaus in not father of Sonja
2) Tannhaus hasn’t got any relationship with Elisabeth, line should go to Charlotte
3) Have I’ve missed something? Do we know that Regina’s father is Bernd?
4) On a map it’s three generations between Regina and Peter, but they are sitting by one table at the end and they are the same age. And who are those other people in this Doppler’s tree? Where can I find any proofs for it?
August 2, 2020 at 10:32 pm
I’m a native Farsi speaker who watch German show with English subtitle it was complicated for me.
thanks a lot, it helped me so much to figure it out story lines
August 8, 2020 at 2:59 am
In Eva’s World, you forgot to mention that Helge Doppler killed Ulrich Neilsen. Otherwise, you did great work in putting these together.
August 8, 2020 at 4:30 pm
You are just awesome, man! That family trees are superb and have comen in pretty handy while rewatching the two first seasons with my wife (it was 1st for her but I guess she’s just way smarter than me, because she hasn’t needed no damn map at all LOL).
If you allow me to kindly note just one little thing: In the S3 family tree I’m missing the little captions right under the characters as you did in S2. For me (you know, the not-so-smart-hubby) are of great help and I bet few many folks would be also grateful if you could feature those captions back…
But, I got you, there’s little chance after all the effort you mention in the post about running ads, etc. so I thought I might just politely ask…
Keep up the great work! Thanks!

Hey Juan,
Glad the caps were helpful in 1 and 2. But I’m sorry, there’s no way I’m doing caps for 3. And it is not because of the work… it’s because you guys would rip up one side and done the other no matter what I say! It’s a lose lose. I have space for what 30 words? What do you say about Adam? ‘He’s the confused older version of Jonas that thinks he’s god and is trying to keep all his friends and enemies close for eternity?’ Now you Try it? Or better yet, Eva, or Martha?
Nah. I’m good. But I hear you. Sorry mate!

You missed Katarina’s mother’s maiden name, which is Obendorf, as seen when super-slut Hannah visits their home for an abortion, meets Katarina’s mom as a small girl, and leaves her the necklace with St. Christopher. This will fill more tabs and minor details of interest.
August 13, 2020 at 2:58 pm
Sorry, but the Origin World familiy tree is not correct. Greta Doppler isn’t Bernd’s daughter, as depicted, but his wife. Bernd is Helge’s stepfather.
The family of Torben and Bernadette is Wöller, not Woller.
And we know their mother, at least how she looks like. It’t the nurse who asks Ines to trade shifts because she has to bring Benny (Bernadette) to his football training.
August 13, 2020 at 3:05 pm
No. Mrs. Obendorf is the woman who runs the abortion service, Erik Obendorf’s grandmother. The pregnant little girl is indeed Katharina’s mother, but not related to the abortionist. If that isn’t obvious from that scene, it becomes clear when she says “I got rid of you” to Katharina, thinking that Katharina is a devilish reincarnation of her aborted child.
August 13, 2020 at 3:14 pm
Another thing: Aleksander’s last name is Köhler, not Kohler.
And Jürgen Obendorf’s mother runs the abortion clinic where Hannah meets Helene Albers.
August 13, 2020 at 7:49 pm
You think that little girl is there for an abortion? She just happens to answer the door because she is in the waiting room at the time?! Please, someone provide proof to this one way or the other because I did not see it like this at all! That little girl wasn’t really getting an abortion, was she??!!
August 13, 2020 at 10:37 pm
100% she was. Helene, Charlotte’s mother, definitely was there for an abortion. https://dark-netflix.fandom.com/wiki/Helene_Albers
Sorry mate. And yeah, I think she was only 12 at the time. Pretty tragic.
August 15, 2020 at 10:30 pm
doing the Lord’s work. thank you so much. stg if I wasn’t broke af i’d donate.
August 16, 2020 at 3:31 pm
No worries at all Mary. Thanks for the thought! hahah. The Lord’s work. Too funny.
August 23, 2020 at 8:13 am
I was confused about exactly these two things!
August 30, 2020 at 4:56 pm
Perhaps yet another infidelity? Martha does look a bit less like Magnus and a bit more like Bartosz, so maybe she was Aleksander/Boris’s daughter? although it would be a bit out of character for Katharina to cheat on Ulrich in Adam’s world…
September 1, 2020 at 12:04 pm
This should be a post in itself Sir. Well-written article too. I admire your passion. Good luck with monetizing this or if you do not, wish you peace and nirvana in your work or BOTH which would be awesome..
September 22, 2020 at 1:33 pm
Excellent retort! You’re right, no one likes ads, but they are a necessary evil. I stumbled on your site today and really enjoyed all the information you worked to provide for us. Thank you!
September 23, 2020 at 5:37 pm
You are welcome.
January 18, 2021 at 3:14 pm
get a fuckin’ life y’all.
or not. the end is the beginning.
or knot.
pft.
January 19, 2021 at 5:28 am
Not sure what that says about you, Mr Leo Oser (is that supposed to be clever?) since the only way to find this post is to Google Dark.
January 19, 2021 at 2:10 pm
Hahaha!
But it isn’t. Not even a little bit. The ending breaks with the loop. I know you are just being an idiot. But that is the fantastic thing about the loop, which is that it isn’t… anymore.
Pft-is right!
May 2, 2021 at 1:19 pm
There are lots of mistakes here, you should take a look at the official tree on Nerflix.
July 5, 2021 at 9:19 am
Hello, i just donated 5$ but icant access the big pictures.
i want to rewatch Dark and this maps would be super helpful if i can read the text also.
So mister Taylor if you can help me i will be in your debt.
Thank you in adavance
July 5, 2021 at 9:50 am
Alex, if you click on the picture it opens the larger one up and you can save it and then zoom on it to read.
July 5, 2021 at 1:56 pm
Lisa
Yes I did that, but still the letters to small to read.Also I wanted to print it but still in the print it’s to small
July 5, 2021 at 8:19 pm
Looks like you are in Lisa’s debt! I think those are really really big… no? If opened, no? If not, email me and we’ll figure something out for you. Thanks for the donation!!
And thanks @lisa for stepping in as my help desk! hahah.
July 6, 2021 at 8:09 am
I think if you try and print it then the text would be condensed for it to fit on the page but you should be able to zoom in and read it on the big file.
I’m here for you, T! Haha!
January 14, 2022 at 12:17 am
Amazing. Thank you! Loved the tree and some comments also cleared up everything for me. (Hahaha “super slut Hannah”, best comment.)
June 25, 2022 at 9:12 am
Just finished Dark and like many others found this Season 3 family tree to help “explain” what I just watched. I do see some edits, which would help the tree.
1. Add a Murderous Connection between Alexander T to Alexander K in Adam and Eva’s worlds.
2. Sonja Tannhaus needs to be a marriage line to Marek, not a daughter of HG Tannhaus in both A and E worlds.
3. Add Charlotte (Baby) Tannhaus to Marek and Sonja for all worlds.
4. I believe all non-pictured circles are assumptions. Should these be added.
a. HG Tannhaus lineage should be duplicated for all worlds.
b. Claudia Tiedemann lineage should be duplicated to Origin world with assumptions.
c. Hannah’s dad should be added to Origin with assumptions.
5. Add Bernadette and Torben Woller to A and E worlds.
a. Add Romantic Connection between Bernadette and Peter D in A and E.
I appreciate the work put into this. Very nice job.
June 25, 2022 at 6:26 pm
Hey Mike!
Thanks so much for the edits. I’ll be really honest with you! It’s so dangerous for me to crack open these photoshop files! Every time I do I decide I’ll just do one more thing until I find 7 days gone! But I do appreciate the conciseness of your offer of help. And I might edit it again. We will see. I mean, your first addition alone has me chomping at the bit to edit it! Hahah. Ah well. We will see. It’s like a siren calling me to my own demise!
Take care and thanks again.

Just finished Dark and wanted to see if anyone created a family tree and I was not disappointed! Not only that, but you went above and beyond dude. 100 hours?! Thank you! Your writing absolutely cracked me up, too. I insisted on reading it aloud to my boyfriend and I think I did the tone justice. Really gave that performance my all. I just donated too, so I’m putting my money where my mouth is when I say this wins the internet for me.
November 4, 2022 at 10:10 pm
Hey there Keri!
I might give you the donation back for an audio recording of said reenactment! Your comment made my week. Thanks for that. Really great.
Hopefully you’ve heard there is a new show soon out from the producers of Dark? 1899 is it? Out later this month and looks like another real stunner. So make sure you check it out!
Anyway. Thank you for the donation – and more importantly thanks for the spirited rereading!! Hahahah.

Keri should definitely join us on Discord if she enjoys your yammering so much!
November 5, 2022 at 8:22 am
Oh and remember those video talks you used to make for us on Patreon? When re-enacting Taylor you must add an “umm” or “uhh” every few words.
You know how much I love teasing you. I actually miss the videos. And the watch parties although it’s super hard to organize everyone together for those. I’ve noticed on Amazon Prime that the watch party option is on quite a few movies now. So maybe…..
December 5, 2022 at 1:15 pm
Wait, there’s a Discord?! So glad I came back here and saw Lisa’s comment because now I’m going to hunt for that!
December 5, 2022 at 2:25 pm
Taylor, hook a girl up!
December 5, 2022 at 3:43 pm
Hey there Keri – here you go – https://discord.gg/Cu8qVXws4k
Anyone else that bumps into that link is welcome to join as well. If you sign up on Patreon (aka spend cash, I think $5 a month) you get access to ALL the channels in the discord. But everyone can get access to our main chat channel for free with that link.
Come join us Keri…

One thing missing here is that Donata Kraus, Ines’s nurse colleague at the hospital, is the mother of Benni and Woller. She mentions having to take Benni to soccer practice.
February 13, 2024 at 12:56 am
Season 3 is missing a black dotted murder line from Eva’s World Martha to Jonas (she shot him)
February 13, 2024 at 12:58 am
Also missing another dotted red murder line from Adam to Hannah.
February 13, 2024 at 1:16 am
Also missing Helge’s murder of Ulrich.
February 13, 2024 at 1:28 am
Also also Agnes’ murder of Noah, and Tronte’s murder of Regina. So so much murder! I’m probably forgetting more of it too, LOL.
February 13, 2024 at 1:35 am
Ah yes of course, Helene’s murder of Katharina & Claudia’s murder of the other Claudia. And sooo many attempted but failed murders. And the manslaughter of Egon by Claudia. Everyone’s a murderer in Winden!
February 14, 2024 at 9:56 am
I’ll go through these one by one and review. One of the really hard things for me to know was… when should I reveal what. Technically, I should have:
1. No-spoiler pre-season 1 characters map.
2. Post season 1 – season 1 family tree
3. Post season 2 – season 2 family tree
4. Post season 3 – season 3 family tree
5. Conjectures and theories family tree! haha
I went all wrong when I created a season 1 tree and sent anyone to it. And then realized… well, if you are just interested in the show… And then sent anyone to a page with all three trees on it. That was the worst thing I could do. If I were to do it all over again, I definitely would have planned better.
It could also be that I just missed a bunch. Personally, my goal with the tree was trying to show the major, over arching details. The familial loops etc. But I’ll go through your suggestions one by one.
