Egon Tiedemann
The police chief inspector whose daughter Claudia's confrontation leads to his fatal heart attack in 1987.
Egon Tiedemann (portrayed by Christian Pätzold) is the father of Claudia Tiedemann, the (ex-)husband of Doris Tiedemann and a police chief inspector. He is not the father of Silja Tiedemann; Silja is the daughter of Hannah Kahnwald and Bartosz Tiedemann. In 1954, Hannah travels from 1954 to 1987 and has a relationship with Egon's son, not Egon himself. Silja is born in 1911 (or later timeline) to Hannah and Bartosz. In 1987, during a confrontation with Claudia, Egon dies of a heart attack, not from a fall.

Reader's Guide
Egon Tiedemann appears across multiple timelines as a police chief inspector. In 1954, he has an affair with Hannah Kahnwald, which results in the birth of Silja Tiedemann in 1988 (after Hannah travels to 1987). Egon is also the father of Claudia Tiedemann and the (ex-)husband of Doris Tiedemann. His death occurs in 1987 during a physical altercation with Claudia: he falls backwards, hits his head, and dies. This event is a key turning point in Claudia's story, as she is directly involved in her father's fatal accident.
