Appearances edit

Lahnstein first appeared as Tanja Wittkamp on Verbotene Liebe in episode 109, which aired on 21 June 1995.[1] According to the actress, the role had been planned for a three month run, but the writers kept extending it.[2] Lahnstein explained, "In the first few years I managed it by shooting for half a year and then doing something else for half a year. So my role was written in and out over and over again. In 1998, I felt the need to try myself outside of Verbotene Liebe and left the series."[2] Her last appearance was episode 830 on 15 July 1998.[1] Verbotene Liebe writer Peter Süß said in 2009:

I think it is important for a telenovela that the antagonists are also punished. When I was the chief author of Verbotene Liebe, the character Tanja von Anstetten ... murdered three people, including two popular characters of the main cast, such as the pub owner Cleo. I then wrote Tanja from the series. She got into a stretch limousine at the time, the driver was the friend of the killed Cleo, Tim Sander ... [and] he pointed a gun at her. Although it was never seen, it should be clear that Tanja was shot. After my time, she was written back into the series ... and now a triple murderer just runs around at VL again, and no one gets upset.[3]

Lahnstein returned to the role from 24 April to 5 October 2001, in part to facilitate the exit from the series of Isa Jank as Clarissa von Anstetten.[1] Tanja reappeared for good three years later on 16 April 2004.[1] With Lahnstein on maternity leave from the series, Tanja was absent from 9 June 2005 to 20 March 2006, and again from 30 March to 12 December 2007.[1] Tanja's final extended absence was from 14 December 2009 to 6 April 2010.[1] Lahnstein portrayed Tanja until the final episode of the series on 26 June 2015.[4][5] She reprised the role in the 2020–2021 TVNOW revival series, Verbotene Liebe: Next Generation, first appearing in the ninth episode on 18 January 2021.[6][7]

Characterization edit

Bernd Peters of Bild wrote of Tanja, "For the past 20 years, the beautiful countess has only been about one thing: power, money and influence," noting that she will do anything, including murder, to get what she wants.[7] The character has been described as cunning, manipulative and scheming,[8][9] and Tobias Dupke of Die Welt wrote that "Tanja actually embodies evil".[2] Lahnstein said Tanja is additionally "cheeky, snotty" and "a cold and tough businesswoman", noting that playing an evil character is "definitely more interesting than playing the sweetheart next door."[2] She added, "That's what I like about the character: she experiences completely extreme things and always gets away with it."[2] Lahnstein said, "I admire her a lot, even though I often find her character traits repugnant. She spins intrigues, she only cares about power, and when things get too tight for her, she leaves the men ... She is very tough, she does not allow feelings, does not get involved with others."[9]

Tanja's first scheme in 1995 is to fake a pregnancy to marry wealthy Henning von Anstetten (Markus Hoffmann). When that plan is foiled by Henning's stepmother Clarissa von Anstetten (Isa Jank), Tanja marries Henning's uncle Ben von Anstetten (Andreas Jung). When he is poisoned and dies. Tanja marries and murders his illegitimate son Rajan Rai (Sascha Zaglauer) to secure his fortune. She murders pregnant Cleo Winter (Dinah Alice Schilffarth) to cover her tracks, but is held captive by her ex-lover, Tim Sander (Roland Pfaus), for killing Cleo. Tanja murders Tim and escapes in 2001, returning with a plot to marry and murder Henning (now portrayed by Patrik Fichte) to inherit his fortune.[10] When Tanja returns in 2004, her criminal record has been mysteriously expunged by Donald Rush (Andreas Engelmann), whom she later kills with a poisonous snake and frames someone else. She becomes romantically involved with Ansgar von Lahnstein (Wolfram Grandezka), and softens somewhat with the arrival of their child, Hannes, in 2006. Her priority is now putting her son first, wanting him to have everything she always wanted for herself and willing to do anything to ensure it. The return of Tanja's mother, Annegret Wittkamp (Ursula Heyer), in 2008 reveals a vulnerable side to Tanja, as the story of her father's abuse and brother's death is revealed.[11][12]

In 2011, Tanja develops true feelings for Sebastian von Lahnstein (Sebastian Schlemmer), and realizes that her relationship with him is more important to her than the power struggle she is in with her soon-to-be ex-husband Ansgar, Sebastian's cousin.[13] She opens up to Sebastian about her past, and tells him that she does not want her children to be like her.[13] Tim's son, Timo Mendes (Remo Schulze), arrives to confront Tanja about his father's murder, but seeing Tanja with Sebastian and their daughter makes him think she may not be as evil as he expected.[14] Lahnstein said in 2013, "There was a phase in the past two years when Tanja fell in love for the first time, then married the man and had a child with him. This moment in Tanja's life is slowly but surely over. The writers want me to stay evil."[2]

Storylines edit

1995–1998 edit

In June 1995, young blonde beauty Tanja Wittkamp comes home to Düsseldorf from boarding school to see that her parents are bankrupt and have to sell their stud farm. Aristocrat Christoph von Anstetten (Jürgen Zartmann) buys most of the horses, one of them Tanja's favorite. First allowed to visit her horse at Castle Friedenau and then hired to work in the stable, Tanja has an affair with both Christoph's son Henning von Anstetten (Markus Hoffmann) and working class charmer Jan Brandner (Andreas Brucker). She pretends to be pregnant with Henning's child to trap him into marriage, but Christoph's wife Clarissa von Anstetten (Isa Jank), Henning's stepmother, exposes Tanja as a liar and a golddigger. Tanja vows revenge on the entire Anstetten family, and Clarissa's total destruction.

Tanja disappears, but returns in 1996 as the wife of Benedikt von Anstetten (Andreas Jung), Christoph's hated brother, who agrees to help with her vendetta. Tanja learns that the mysterious Rajan Rai (Sascha Zaglauer) is Ben's illegitimate son. Anstetten butler George Helthay (Jochen Stern) attempts to poison Clarissa, but kills Ben instead, and Rajan inherits his fortune. As lawyer Marc Geppard (Peter Mustafa) attempts to defraud Rajan on Tanja's behalf, she begins an affair with Tim Sander (Roland Pfaus). Tim begins to see Tanja's true devious nature, and ends the relationship. But Tanja has noticed that Rajan is jealous, and pretends to be interested in him as well. She accepts his proposal to marry him in India, but once that is done she murders him and inherits everything. Back in Düsseldorf, Tanja meddles in the relationship between Tim and Cleo Winter (Dinah Alice Schilffarth), causing Cleo to break up with him. Her sights set on ruining Clarissa, Tanja kidnaps her and tries to secure her power of attorney from Clarissa's best friend Charlie Schneider (Gabriele Metzger). Clarissa escapes, but falls and loses her memory, which Tanja uses to finally take everything from her. A pregnant Cleo investigates Tanja, who kills her and makes it look like a suicide. Clarissa regains her memory and gets everything back from Tanja. Clarissa tells a heartbroken Tim that Tanja murdered Cleo, hoping that he will kill Tanja. Tim pursues Tanja to Portugal, and locks her in a cellar in July 1998.

2001 edit

Three years later in April 2001, Clarissa learns that Tim has been found dead in the same manner as Cleo, and fears Tanja's return.[15] Clarissa hires a private investigator and a bodyguard, and when no trace of Tanja is found in Portugal, Clarissa is reassured that Tim killed Tanja years before. In actuality, Tanja is already back in Düsseldorf.[16][17] Tanja stages an attack on Marie von Beyenbach (Solveig Duda), knowing she is engaged to Henning (now portrayed by Patrik Fichte), and comes to her rescue. A grateful Marie hosts a party to thank Tanja, and Henning and Clarissa are as shocked to see her as Marie is confused by their reaction. Tanja explains to Marie that she was previously married to Henning's uncle, and quietly informs Clarissa that she will destroy her once and for all. Tanja arranges for Marie to walk in on Clarissa paying Tanja to stay away from Marie. Clarissa tells Marie about Tanja's many crimes, but Marie does not believe her. She and Henning, who was not in town when Tanja supposedly wreaked havoc on the Anstettens, go to Charlie for the truth. Though wanting to expose Tanja, Charlie is compelled to lie because Tanja has poisoned Charlie's nephew Oliver Sabel (Jo Weil), and threatens to finish the job.[18][19]

Tanja schemes to get closer to Marie and Henning.[20] She fakes a DNA test that makes it appear that Marie's father Martin von Beyenbach (Gerry Hungbauer) is also Henning's biological father.[10] A devastated Marie and Henning split up, and he finds comfort in Tanja, who he believes has changed. He is about to marry Tanja when he and Clarissa realize that her plan is to marry and then murder Henning to inherit his fortune. He plays along, and after the wedding Tanja, disguised as Clarissa, shoots Henning in front of witnesses. Henning dies in hospital and Clarissa is wanted for his murder. Tanja plays the grieving widow, and is shocked when a very much alive Henning appears at the funeral and watches as she is arrested. Clarissa boards a private jet headed for a much-needed vacation, but is surprised by an escaped Tanja. The plane subsequently crashes in South America, and Clarissa and Tanja are presumed dead in October 2001.

2004–2008 edit

Having survived the crash, Tanja returns in April 2004, her criminal record mysteriously expunged by her employer, Donald Rush (Andreas Engelmann). She helps smuggle counterfeit money into the country as part of a business deal with Ansgar von Lahnstein (Wolfram Grandezka). Tanja and Ansgar are fascinated by each other, and begin an affair. Tanja also taunts her nemesis Charlie, and seduces Charlie's boyfriend David McNeil (Sam Eisenstein) to get to her. After Donald tries to kill her, Tanja murders him with a poisonous snake and frames Bernd von Beyenbach (Ron Holzschuh) for the crime. Pregnant with Ansgar's child, she leaves town in June 2005. Tanja reappears in a convent in March 2006, having given birth to their son Hannes. She tries to maintain the pretense that she has changed, but soon returns to her old self. Tanja softens somewhat as a mother, putting her son first, wanting him to have everything she always wanted for herself and willing to do anything to ensure it. She disappears with Hannes in March 2007, faking their deaths with the help of Adrian Degenhardt (Klaus Zmorek). Tanja returns in December 2007 and is charged with child abduction. Having acquired evidence of Ansgar's criminal liability in a spoiled baby food fiasco, she blackmails him to testify in her favor in March 2008.[21][22] Tanja gets off with a suspended sentence, but threatens to expose Ansgar unless he marries her, which is her only way to regain custody off Hannes.[23][24] Ansgar nearly strangles Tanja in front of their son,[24][25] but even after destroying the evidence against him, he must maintain their alliance else he lose custody of Hannes himself.[26]

Tanja's next target is Ansgar's ex-wife, Nathalie Käppler (Jenny Winkler).

Evidence suddenly appears that exonerates Nathalie.[32]

He sees an opportunity to get information from Annegret to blackmail Tanja and get her out of his life.[34][35] Ansgar and Nathalie try to discover Tanja's secret, which they believe is related to the mysterious death of her younger brother Thomas when they were children. Tanja's repeated rejection drives Annegret to succumb to her alcoholism, but before Ansgar can take advantage of this, Tanja has her mother held captive and drugged to keep her quiet. Annegret is freed thanks to Ansgar and Nathalie, but refuses to press charges against Tanja. Annegret finally tells the Lahnsteins the truth. Tanja's father Walter had been physically abusive to her, and when Thomas tried to intervene, he was pushed down the stairs by Walter and died. Walter blamed Tanja, and Annegret never spoke up, so Tanja was placed in a psychiatric institution for two years. In the present, Tanja breaks down in tears but still refuses to forgive her mother.[11][12] Annegret agrees to leave town, but makes one last attempt to reconcile with Tanja. When even her threat of suicide does not get through to Tanja, Annegret jumps into a river to her death.[36][37]

Through a surreptitious DNA test, Tanja learns that Maria is not Francesca, but is her younger sister Maria di Balbi. Maria had been institutionalized after she jealously tried to kill Francesca at her wedding to Johannes von Lahnstein.

Rescued by Elisabeth, Tanja is shaken but more determined that ever to destroy Maria.[42] Ansgar and Tanja each realize that Maria is feeling increasingly guilty about the lie, and is about to expose herself as an imposter. Tanja puts her plan to murder Maria in motion.[43] Ansgar comes across an old letter from Francesca in which she admits that Maria's son did not die in childbirth as she thought, but was raised by Johannes and Francesca as Ansgar.[38] When Tanja tells Ansgar that she has poisoned Maria and made it look like suicide, he goes to her rescue.[43] Ansgar saves Maria's life, and confesses that she is his mother.[44][45] Maria wants to murder Tanja, but Ansgar does not want Hannes to lose his mother.
