Alles was zählt, which translates to "All or Nothing" in English, is a gripping German television soap opera that first aired on RTL on September 4, 2006. The show quickly gained a devoted following due to its engaging storylines, complex characters, and stunning ice skating sequences. The original plot centered around Diana Sommer, a talented ice skater with a burning desire to make it to the top of her sport. Diana's dreams seemed to come true when she caught the eye of Julian Herzog, who offered her a spot at the prestigious Steinkamp Sport and Wellness Center.

The Steinkamp Center, run by the ruthless and cunning Steinkamp family, was a hotbed of drama and intrigue. The Steinkamps were determined to make their center the most successful in the country, and they were willing to do whatever it took to achieve that goal. Julian, who was both a trainer and a member of the Steinkamp family, fell in love with Diana and signed her up as a trainee at the center. Their relationship was a rare bright spot in a world dominated by power struggles, backstabbing, and betrayal.

However, tragedy struck when Julian suffered a brain hemorrhage and died during their wedding in November 2007. Diana was devastated by his death, but she remained in Essen until January 2009, when she left to join a skating center in Halle. The show continued to follow the lives of the characters at the Steinkamp Center, as they navigated the treacherous waters of competitive sports, love, and ambition. From the Steinkamp family's relentless pursuit of power to the everyday struggles of the athletes who trained at the center, Alles was zählt was a compelling exploration of the human condition that kept viewers on the edge of their seats.
