Crossovers

Over the years, Unter uns had three crossovers with other television shows.

In 1997, the character of Rebecca Mattern (played by Imke Brügger) had several crossover appearances with the crime drama SK-Babies.
On 25 October 2007, Unter uns started the first crossover of two German soaps. The characters of Nina Sommer (played by Nathalie Thiede), Tim Herzog (played by André Emanuel Kaminski) and Vanessa Steinkamp (played by Julia Augustin) from Alles was zählt crossed over and visited the beach bar Übersee. This was followed by a guest appearance of the character Mars (played by Marcel Saibert) on 5 November 2007 on Alles was zählt.
In three episodes from 17 to 23 January 2008, Unter uns had a crossover with the scripted crime show Staatsanwalt Posch ermittelt. For that Christopher Posch made guest appearances to convince the character of Franziska Gellert (played by Olivia Klemke) to testify against her kidnapper Herrig.
