Christian is the little brother of Gregor Mann (Andreas Jancke). He is just out of prison after he was found guilty of holding up a gas station. But Christian was innocent, because his father Wolfgang was the real perpetrator. After he is free, Christian wants to begin a new life in Düsseldorf with his brother. Before long Nico von Lahnstein (Verena Zimmermann) and Coco Faber (Mariangela Scelsi) fall in love with him. Christian doesn't know about Coco's feelings for him and begins a relationship with Nico. Coco suffers and when Christian needs to go back to prison, innocent again, for attacking Nico's boss Schuhmann, Nico can't deal with Christian's situation and begs Coco to help her. So Coco writes love letters to Christian in prison and Christian thinks they are from Nico. After his release Christian finds out that Coco and not Nico wrote to him. Coco can't hide her feelings for Christian any longer and tells him the truth, though she knows that he loves Nico. But Christian begins to feel the same way about Coco and they kiss.

When Christian confronts Oliver about the kiss with Coco, Oliver kisses him to prove that he is really interested in Christian, not Coco.
Then after Oliver kisses him, Christian becomes confused with his relationship with Coco even to the extent where when she leaves for Goa, he doesn't go with her because he doesn't 'love her anymore.' Even though he claims publicly that he isn't gay, Christian strikes up a conversation in a gay chatroom about his confusion about the kiss and inadvertedly voices his issues to Oliver, though he doesn't know that this is him yet. Finding out about his chat partner's true identify leads to a heated confrontation which results in Oliver and Christian having sex.
After having sex with Oliver, Christian is still confused he tells oliver that he isn't interested. However, Oliver doesn't believe him and is sure that he is just hiding his feelings because he's scared.
They are just friends up until the point that Miriam asks Christian out, after some persuading from Gregor he agrees to go. however, when they get there Oliver is already there dancing with another guy called Rick. Christian doesn't react well and ends up starting a fight with Rick, Oliver manages to stop the fight and accuses Christian of being jealous.Christian and Miriam go back to No Limits followed by Oliver and Olivia. Oliver makes a joke about what Christian did and Christian explains he did it because Rick wasn't a nice guy, Christian then tells Miriam that he has a headache and is going upstairs. After some persuading from Olivia, Oliver follows him, Christian locked himself in his room and won't let Oliver in. Oliver then tells Christian "I've fallen head over heels in love with you.." Christian eventually unlocks the door and Oliver comes in, Christian tells Oliver "I've fallen in love with you" followed by them kissing and having sex.
In the meantime, Christian, has been given a contract by Wolle, a boxing contractor who hates gay people and Christian hides his relationship with Oliver. When Christian wants to come clean to everyone, Oliver stops him and resolves to keep their love a secret as long as it takes to get Christian into the boxing world.
