We provide superposition formulae for the six cases of Bäcklund transformations corresponding to space-like and time-like surfaces in the 3-dimensional pseudo-Euclidean space. In each case, the surfaces have constant negative or positive Gaussian curvature, and they correspond to solutions of one of the following equations: the sine-Gordon, the sinh-Gordon, the elliptic sine-Gordon, and the elliptic sinh-Gordon equation. The superposition formulae provide infinitely many solutions algebraically after the first integration of the Bäcklund transformation. Such transformations and the corresponding superposition formulae provide solutions of the same hyperbolic equation, while they show an unusual property for the elliptic equations. The Bäcklund transformation alternates solutions of the elliptic sinh-Gordon equation with those of the elliptic sine-Gordon equation, and the superposition formulae provide solutions of the same elliptic equation. Explicit examples and illustrations are given.
