Hi.  Just another option would be to combine the two lists into an
integer.(0,1,2,or 3)


Reihe1 = {22, 33, 44, 0, 0, 16, 5, 0, 0, 0};
Reihe2 = {16, 27, 0, 0, 5, 11, 5, 0, 0, 12};

ptn = 2*DiscreteDelta /@ Reihe1 + DiscreteDelta /@ Reihe2

{0, 0, 1, 3, 2, 0, 0, 3, 3, 2}

Pick[Reihe2, ptn, 2]

{5, 12}

Pick[Reihe1, ptn, 1]

{44}
