WATCH THESE IDENTICAL TRIPLETS TRANSFORM OVER 37 YEARS OF BIRTHDAY PHOTOS!

By: Riley Brown | Last updated: Oct 18, 2022
Originally Published on familyandpets.com and repurposed with permissions




Can you imagine growing up with an identical twin? Better still, imagine growing
up with two! You basically get two built-in best friends right from the start of
your life. Today, we want to share snapshots of these terrific triplets as they
transformed—from tots and teens to 37 year old men!

These boys have really changed over the years. Time seems to do that. But they
have managed to get together on their birthday to take an iconic photo every
year. So in addition to watching these boys morph through the ages, we want you
to get to know the triplets as they really are. You might even be surprised by
the end. 




THE BEGINNING OF SOMETHING SPECIAL

This is the Füger boys’ first birthday snap, taken in 1983 by their dad. We
wonder if they knew that this picture would be the first in a series of many.
Seen here is their first birthday card. This will become a running theme
throughout the years.

The boys are all dressed in the same special birthday outfits. Two of them have
their little fingers in their mouths. We wonder if twins or triplets naturally
mimic each other’s style as they grow up. Maybe it’s an early influence.





TRIPLE TROUBLE

Just look at those smiles! And look, the birthday sign is back! The boys have
grown their hair out in the same way and are even dressed the same, this time
donning Brazilian football uniforms—their dad must have been a fan. We wonder if
the boys still support that team today.

The boys seem more aware of themselves than before. We wonder if they were aware
that their picture was being taken. According to one of the triplets, the first
few years were hard for their parents. Getting babies to pose is quite the
challenge, as it turns out!




THREE SIBLINGS, THREE YEARS!

Their parents must have decided to make it a tradition by now. Check out their
matching Snoopy sweaters and the big toothy smiles on their faces! Their mom or
dad must have figured out exactly how to get their attention at this point.
Third time’s the charm!

thegattostar/YouTube

In case you were wondering (because you don’t happen to speak German), the
writing on their sign “Unser Geburstag” roughly translates to “Our Birthday.”
Makes sense, right? We also couldn’t help noticing the bugs on the poster—three
cute little bugs for three cute little boys.




TRIPLETS STARTING SCHOOL

This would have been when the boys entered school for the first time. The three
of them look as bright and cheerful about their big milestone as the sun in
their birthday poster. Although they still have the same boyish looks, one of
the triplets has gone with a yellow sweater, unlike his two brothers in their
sky blues.

thegattostar/YouTube

The triplets commented that they created chaos for their dad as he tried to take
their yearly snap as soon as they realized what he was up to. Apparently, one of
the brothers would refuse to take part each year. Their dad must have been one
heck of a negotiator! 




YEAR FIVE - NOT SO HAPPY

It looks like two of the Füger boys wanted to opt out of this one. The three of
them are wearing matching (but differently colored) sweaters. It’s one way to
tell them apart. Maybe another sports reference? Either way, their parents did a
good job wrangling them in for this one. 

Advertisement




thegattostar/YouTube

And take a good look at their new birthday sign. As you’re about to see, that
sign gets taken out of the closet and dusted off at least once a year for this
very special day. We wonder if the boys will start to look more different from
each other as they continue to grow.


Advertisement




BRINGING BACK THE SMILES

Nope! The boys look completely identical once again. And their smiles have
returned too! Maybe they just decided to give their parents an easy time. Here
they are dressed in checkered race-car sweaters with a green streak.

Advertisement




thegattostar/YouTube

See what we meant about the sign? This year, their mom and dad decided to paint
over the number five to write the number six. It looks like they were having a
great birthday this year as the boys proudly hold up their sign.  


Advertisement




NEW YEAR, NEW GEAR?

Sweaters and jeans are sooo 1980s! This year, the boys went with embroidered
overalls for their birthday snap. The sign is back with a fresh coat of paint
and a new number in the middle. The boys look like they’re doing their best to
look smart for the camera.

Advertisement




thegattostar/YouTube

The boys are growing up, but their looks have remained the same. It’s still
quite hard to tell them apart, but their hairstyles are a bit of a giveaway. It
looks like each of the brothers has been receiving plenty of visits from the
tooth fairy, too. 


Advertisement




COOL KIDS

The boys got a fresh new look for the new decade: short and spiky on top. Those
smiles look mischievous, but their dad snagged a great photo this year. All
three are looking cool with their traditional Füger birthday sign. And it looks
like the boys have a new line of chompers to boot!

Advertisement




thegattostar/YouTube

Those polka dot tops look very snug and sleek. The colors may differ, but the
styles still match. Germany can get pretty cold at any time of year, but it
looks like their birthday comes around in the colder months. Still, they look
nice and cozy here.


Advertisement




GIGGLEFEST

It’s a miracle that their sign survived so long already. The triplets aren’t
little kids anymore. Maybe they’re even enjoying the birthday tradition now!
Despite the fact that they’re all sitting in this photo, we bet the boys were
starting to get tall at this point too.

Advertisement




thegattostar/YouTube

Their hairdos look archetypically 90s, as do their sweaters. Check out those odd
color combinations! But their parents somehow still found time to get them
matching clothes. What lucky kids.


Advertisement




TENTH BIRTHDAY, NEW CAMERA

Double digits! Turning ten is a big milestone for anyone, but imagine being a
parent and having to plan three birthdays! The Füger boys are out of sweaters
and into plaid shirts. Looking smart! They look like such nice kids. We’re sure
that by now, they would have played their fair share of pranks.

Advertisement




thegattostar/YouTube

The camera quality looks better here, for sure. Innovations in technology were
starting to become commonplace back then. Undoubtedly, one of the brothers,
Florian, would have had fun playing with his parents’ new camera, considering
his future career. 


Advertisement




A NEW WAY TO DRESS

The boys may not be wearing matching outfits here, but their display of peak 90s
fashion is unmatched: polka dot navy blue, stripy red and green, and a
green-gold sweater. All three of them look unimpressed with their photo. By now,
they must be expert posers (in the best possible sense). 

Advertisement




thegattostar/YouTube

Anyone who grew up in that decade will have had their fair share of these kinds
of snaps. What can we say? It was a different time. We wonder what the future
has in store for them. Spoiler alert: Boyband looks await!


Advertisement




RED AND BLUE

The triplets look very cool here in their blue and red shirts. Rather than
matching, they’re color-coordinating. It looks like mom and dad had long since
stopped planning their outfits. All the same, the short, styled hair is back.

Advertisement




thegattostar/YouTube

In case you were wondering about the birthday board’s changing number, they
peeled the old sticker off and replaced it with a new one each year. We can
imagine it must be quite challenging to pull it off without a tear!


Advertisement




RED AND BLUE, REDUX

You can now sort of tell the difference between each of the brothers. Here, one
of the Füger boys has gone for a bright blonde surfer look. He looks like he
came fresh from the beach, surfboard in hand! They’re not too cool to hug each
other for a birthday photo, though.

Advertisement




thegattostar/YouTube

It’s sweet to see brotherly love captured like this in a photo. And it looks
like a new color pattern has emerged. Red-blue-red. We wonder if this new trend
will be incorporated into the family tradition from here on out.


Advertisement




BAD TO THE BONE 

Oops. It looks like we spoke too soon. The boys are branching out in more ways
than one. The boys are doing their best “tough guy” impression. We bet they were
still sweethearts deep down. It looks like they have the birthday pose on
automatic now.

Advertisement




Bad To The Bone 

The boys are entering their teen years, and you know what that means. The
triplets commented that instead of dealing with babies or toddlers, their dad
had three hormonal sons to coordinate for their shoot. It couldn’t have been
easy. 


Advertisement




BOY BAND LOOKS

Check out the siblings here, debuting their radical new styles: bead necklaces,
platinum blond hair, and even what looks like the root of dreads. This picture
could have come straight from a popular boy band album cover. 

Advertisement




thegattostar/YouTube

At 15 years old, they dropped the bright and colorful clothing for black and
white. It’s a stark contrast, but it’s the age when boys become men. Still, here
they are, holding their parent’s hand-made birthday board, which is now more
than a decade old. Some things never change.


Advertisement




DIVERGENCE

What a transition. The boys are filling out—they look more like young men now.
We love their varied hairstyles and colors. Black and white seem to be in vogue.
It looks like they might be fans of metal music, which was becoming more and
more popular back then. Hopefully, their parents didn’t mind when they had the
volume up.

Advertisement




thegattostar/YouTube

When asked if they were ever frustrated with being grouped together as a “pack,”
Florian, one of the boys, commented that “even if you initially associate one
brother or sister with a physical trait such as a hair color or style, you will
eventually get to know them better, and you will realize that they have a
personality of their own.” We think that’s quite insightful.


Advertisement




BACK TO BASICS

They look so confident now, almost 18 years old. But we have to admit, even if
they have different perspectives and personalities, they look more alike than
ever. In any case, their parents must have been so proud.

Advertisement




thegattostar/YouTube

This year, the three of them decided to give up the long hair and dye for a
clean and natural look. They might not be doing the matching outfits thing as
they did when they were children, but they definitely still have swag.


Advertisement




AND BACK TO BLACK

The boys really look chiseled now. We think they must have started hitting the
gym regularly. Their childhoods are long behind as the future opens up before
them—but not before they take the old birthday board out of the closet and slap
an “18” sticker in the middle.

Advertisement




thegattostar/YouTube

Doesn’t time fly? It seems like the boys were just little kids with matching
sweaters and big toothy smiles. Now they’re celebrating their 18th birthday and
starting a new chapter of their lives. It must have been an exciting time.


Advertisement




A LITTLE COLOR

The boys are back to their classic look: three big grins and relaxed poses.
Maybe the weight of adulthood has gotten easier—or maybe their mom started to
complain about their lack of smiling. Who knows. We wonder what she thought of
the lip ring.

Advertisement




thegattostar/YouTube

The boys were really into partying from 15 and up. Each year, they were probably
quite tired from the festivities. Since they had grown out of that habit by 19,
they had plenty of energy to spare. Plus, they probably had less to clean up!
Win-win.


Advertisement




BROTHERS FOREVER

Whoa, check out these radical new dudes. A lot must have happened this year.
It’s around this age that many young adults in Germany are busy studying at
university. Apparently, the Füger brothers were all off studying in different
cities and even different countries. 

Advertisement




thegattostar/YouTube

But even when their studies had them separated, they each made time for a
birthday reunion at their parent’s place. Otherwise, they’d have to ship their
birthday board all around Europe for the photo.  Luckily, that board still isn’t
showing any sign of wear or tear! 


Advertisement




BRINGING BACK THE 60S

Did the 60s come back around? It feels like a blast from the past with the
bright colors and the t-shirts. The boys look happy and relaxed here at 21. We
can’t help but wonder if they were coordinating hairstyles, though.

Advertisement




thegattostar/YouTube

We imagine they were coming into their own at this time. And we also hope they
were giving their dad an easier time with his camera work.


Advertisement




GOING DARK (HAIRED)

Here we are. 22 years old already, and the boys are still keeping with the
backyard tradition. Notice that their hair has gone dark. Once again, we’re
strangely reminded of the 60s. This time, we’re thinking of The Beegees. Night
fever, night fever! 

Advertisement




thegattostar/YouTube

We’re reminded of their fourth birthday photo. One of the brothers is in yellow
and the other two in blue. It’s probably not what they had in mind at the time,
but still. It’s admirable that the brothers stuck to the tradition for so long. 


Advertisement




RADICAL STYLES

The boys have clearly come into their own. Their styles have deviated somewhat.
2006 was a great year for mosh pits, pop-punk, and bracelets. Short hair, long
hair, emo or metalhead, the boys have made time for another birthday party
together. 

Advertisement




thegattostar/YouTube

We dig the casual black and white t-shirt, complete with a drawn-on collar,
sunglasses, and camera. There’s some incredible style going on here between the
three brothers.


Advertisement




ALL THE OTHER STYLES

It looks like the boys are really into the tradition now. We think the long
hair, bracelets, and earrings all look great. They certainly evoke a time of
happy memories for us. The sticker is starting to look a little thick here on
the board. Maybe they left a few of the older stickers on?

Advertisement




thegattostar/YouTube

While there are still similarities, they look as different from each other as
they’ve ever been. When asked about all the changing hairstyles, the triplets
said, “you should have seen all the hairstyles between birthdays!”


Advertisement




BROTHERLY HUGS

Their looks haven’t changed much since last year—it just looks like they added,
well, more. They brought bigger, longer hair and wider grins. This year, it
seems like they broke from the tradition of using their backyard bush as a
backdrop.

Advertisement




thegattostar/YouTube

And are all Germans so careful with their childhood things? That sign is now two
decades old, and besides a folded corner, it looks pristine. At least, as
pristine as a piece of cardboard can possibly be. Props to these triplets and
their parents for taking such good care of this sentimental sign.


Advertisement




LONG HAIR LIKE THEY JUST DON’T CARE

It looks like the other two brothers wanted to try the long hair look for
themselves. Here they are looking sharp on their 26th. They say that this is the
year that most people stop growing into who they will be for the rest of their
lives. We’ll leave it up to you to decide whether this is true or not.

Advertisement




thegattostar/YouTube

It’s nice when you remember that even into the second half of their 20s, the
boys are still taking part in a tradition started by their mom and dad, ever
since they turned one. What else could a proud mother ask for?


Advertisement




KILLER LOOKS

It’s the start of another new decade, and the tradition is still going strong.
We’ve seen them through so many years; it’s easy to forget that this was one of
their special days. We wonder what they were getting up to on their 27th
birthdays.

Advertisement




thegattostar/YouTube

Two of the three brothers got clean haircuts, and it looks like mouth piercings
came into style around this year. Fashion became upbeat and colorful again
around this time, too, as evidenced by the bright, multicolored logos on their
shirts.


Advertisement




EASY BREEZY

Yeah, the triplets are definitely into the tradition at this point. It’s amazing
that they still had time to fly in to make this happen. Or maybe by this time,
the brothers all decided to live and work close to each other.

Advertisement




thegattostar/YouTube

According to one of the three (Florian), one brother works as a pediatric
doctor, one trains dogs to go up into space (No kidding?), and one, well, we’ll
save the best for last. How do we know all this? The brothers said so
themselves!


Advertisement




AN UNCANNY RESEMBLANCE

If you’re able, flip back to the last slide and check out the brother on the
left and the middle. They seem to be so good at this annual photo that it looks
like they haven’t moved since the last time it was taken. Okay, the backdrop
looks different, but it’s uncanny, no?

Advertisement




thegattostar/YouTube

It’s almost like someone edited the picture, changed a few details (like the
backdrop and the clothes), and… But no, this is in fact a new year and new
birthday. In just one year, the boys will be hitting another milestone—30!


Advertisement




THIRTY AND THRIVING!

Arm in arm, the boys have made it to the big three-zero. They look like quite a
team here with their “Unser Geburstag” birthday board still intact with a shiny
new “30” on top. It looks like a beautiful day out too.

Advertisement




thegattostar/YouTube

What a trio of handsome boys. We love their outfits—checkered blue and pink, a
cool Adidas shirt, and a fantastic drum kit tee. We wonder if the boys ever
played in a band. Band or no band, we bet their parents are proud of them.


Advertisement




FUTUREBOUND

From their time as little kids trying to cause havoc for their dad as he took
pictures of them to startlingly handsome adults themselves, it must have been
quite a journey. As always, the boys are proudly holding up the sign their
parents made for them all those years ago, hand-on-shoulders, beaming for the
camera.

Advertisement




thegattostar/YouTube

And that must be the house in the background. If it’s their family home, it’s a
beautiful building with many years of history inside. No doubt there were good
times and bad, but through it all, it seems that family is very important to
these three.


Advertisement




TIME FLIES

Time flies when you’re having fun. We hope that, for the last 32 years, the
brothers have lived their lives to the fullest and that they continue to follow
their dreams.

Advertisement




thegattostar/YouTube

They will always have these photos (and their birthday board) to remind them
that they are loved. It’s sweet to think that while times may change, their bond
will never be broken.


Advertisement




33, BUT NOT THE LAST

Here we are at 33. The triplets look as good as ever. This is by no means their
last photo together. You’ll be happy to know that the boys still carry on the
tradition, even to this day. All three brothers are reportedly doing very
well—one of them is even a Youtuber specializing in Photoshop tutorials.

Advertisement




thegattostar/YouTube

But don’t worry—these photos are real—we checked. You can find one of the
brothers on his channel, Flowmotion. If you’re lucky, maybe he’ll even respond
if you leave a comment on one of his videos! We hope the iconic triplets are
well and doing what makes them happy. Here’s to the next 33 years of pictures
with the “Unser Geburstag” board!


Advertisement




ANOTHER ONE

The boys make it another year with the board. Hair styles are different once
again. One brother sports a man bun, one rocks curls, and one has a quaffed
updo. They manage to express their unique styles while still looking so similar.

Advertisement




thegattostar/YouTube

It appears the green bush background has made a reappearance as well. Tradition
never dies for these three!


Advertisement




THE BOYS ARE 35

The boys return on their 35th birthday looking grown up as ever with huge smiles
on their faces. They look to be proud of their tradition. And they should be!
It’s incredibly impressive to be this consistent.

Advertisement




thegattostar/YouTube

They hold their sign with the number 35 and celebrate another birthday spent
together. It must be nice to always have two bothers to celebrate with every
year!


Advertisement




AND THE LONG HAIR RETURNS

The long hair returns for each of the boys. It looks like the brother in the
middle might be wearing the same flannel as last year!

Advertisement




thegattostar/YouTube

They share that same winning smile and are each rocking some facial hair as
well. The sign is still in good shape and we have to wonder if they keep it in
some kind of special safe to keep it maintained so well over the years.


Advertisement




NEARING 40!

It’s so hard to believe that the boys are now closer to 40 than 30. Really, it’s
hard to believe that they are older than about 5! We’ve seen these triplets
through so many phases of life. And we can only imagine what went on in  between
these photos. Still, the bothers remain close and we are so thrilled that they
continue to keep the tradition alive.

thegattostar/YouTube

While they might have been doing it for their parents in the beginning, we’re
pretty sure they’re doing it for themselves now.
