[edit] Character History
Ansgar is the oldest son of Johannes von Lahnstein (Thomas Gumpert). Since his childhood he was under pressure and he always has the feeling that he never was enough for his father. The only people that ever understood him, was his late mother Francesca. He was always jealous on his two younger siblings Leonard and Carla. After his professional training, he left Königsbrunn and moved to Singapur to managed a branch of the 'Lahnstein Bank'. To make Johannes proud, Ansgar is always into illegal business to become what he wants. After years in Singapur, he returns in January 2004 to his family. Carla called him, because she is worried that the new wife of their father is after the family legacy. Also his new half-sister Nico isn't easy to handle. His first actions are to take over a media concern, 'Beyenbach AllMedia', but the CEO Sylvia Jones (Heike Brentano) is a smart business-woman and wouldn't give up so easy. 'Ryan Cosmetics', a subsidiary company of 'Beyenbach AllMedia', is also affected. Ansgar buys both companies and cost the lifework of Elisabeth Brandner (Martina Servatius). Then, Ansgar finds out that his sister Carla is a lesbian at his fathers wedding, when Carla's former lover bobbed up. But Carla doen't want a coming out and wants to marry Bernd von Beyenbach (Ron Holzschuh). Bernd isn't Ansgar's favorite person after all, but he keeps the homosexuality of his sister as a secret - for now.
In his new job at the 'Lahnstein Holding', Ansgar has a new illegal business with a man named Donald Rush. With him returns the serial killer Tanja von Anstetten (Miriam Lahnstein), as his assistant. Ansgar is fascinates from Tanja and begins an affair with her. In this time, Ansgar let handle his hated brother-in-law, Bernd, the illegal business. When Bernd finds out about that fact, he wants out. But Ansgar knows a little dirty secret about Bernd: He is responsible for the kidnapping of Carla and his own daughter Vanessa. Bernd has no choice and resumes with his work on the project. But the illegal business get busted by Sylvia Jones, who works now for Ansgar's father Johannes. Tanja and Ansgar trie to stop Sylvia, but they are too late. She tells anything what she finds out about Ansgar and his - now - financee Tanja Johannes, who finally knows the truth about his son's business deals. Sylvia becomes Ansgar's job and he has to leave the holding. She can argue Johannes to leave things with Rush for the moment. Tanja proffers to speak with Rush about the deal and - as Tanja planed it - Rush tries to kill her. Johannes is thankful to her and Tanja is back in Johannes' favor. Then, she kills Rush and puts the guilt on Bernd. The first suspicion falls on Ansgar, what was part of Tanja's plan. When the police wants to speak with Ansgar, Tanja offering him an alibi, if he marries her. Ansgar agrees, but Johannes finds out, that the alibi was a fake and wants Tanja out of Königsbrunn. Now it time for Tanja's last trump and she says in front of anybody, that she knows the identity of the real killer: Bernd von Beyenbach! Bernd seeks for an alibi and finds out, that Sylvia Jones saw him on a main rood. But Sylvia hates Bernd, after he takes the fault of the death of his brother and his wife, and doesn't wanna give it to him. Now, Ansgar wants back in the company - with Tanja's help. She engaged Hagen Berg to make Sylvia fall in love with him. And her plan works out, but then Hagen falls in love with Sylvia too. Ansgar informs anyone that Carla is a lesbian and suspends the guit to Sylvia and Hagen. After that, Johannes fires Sylvia. Tanja plans to kill Hagen, but Sylvia can rescue him and both leave Düsseldorf. When Tanja finds out, that Hagen isn't dead, she is furious. The murder case about Donald Rush goes in the second round. Bernd is short to his conviction, but then Sylvia arrives in the court room and tells that Bernd is innocent. Ansgar believes that the police will go after him again, but Tanja wants to put the guilt now on Sylvia. But her plan doesn't works out and Sylvia moves together with Hagen to Canada. Relieved, Tanja breaks down.
Tanja is pregnant with Ansgar's child and realizes that she has feelings for the father of her child. The police investigates the murder of Donald Rush again. Johannes wants to pretend his son and believes that Tanja is the murderer. For that reason, Tanja decides to have the baby and to have a pressure on Ansgar. He wants Tanja out of his life and wants to find - together with Bernd - proof that she killed Rush. But Tanja is faster and kills the only man, who could know something. Ansgar is desperately and finds out about Tanja's pregnancy. He wants an abortion, but it's too late for that. Ansgar kidnaps Tanja and locked her in a house. But Tanja can break out and leaves the country.
One year later, Tanja comes back to Düsseldorf and wants that Ansgar would be a father for their son Hannes. He agrees, but he doesn't wants to be a husbund for Tanja. Both of them fight about the custody. After a plot by Tanja, the court gave Ansgar the custody. Tanja sweared revenge.
