The family plays the more important role in Elke's life. She had her first daughter, Doreen, when she was 19, less than a year after she married her first husband, Dietmar Glante. She divorced him after just one year. This first is followed by two more lengthy relationships before she meets her new husband; she has another daughter with her first partner, Ulrike.
After the fall of the wall, Elke decides to get out of the film project. After two years, however, she meets again with Junge and the work continues. After the fall of the wall, she had to retrain in order not to become unemployed, otherwise the fall of the wall brought few changes for her.
