Abstract: It is known that complex constant mean curvature ({sc CMC} for short) immersions in $mathbb{C}^3$ are natural complexifications of {sc CMC}-immersions in $mathbb{R}^3$. In this paper, conversely we consider {it real form surfaces} of a complex {sc CMC}-immersion, which are defined from real forms of the twisted $mathfraksl(2,mathbbC)$ loop algebra $Lambdamathfraksl(2,mathbbC{)}_{s}igma$, and classify all such surfaces according to the classification of real forms of $Lambdamathfraksl(2,mathbbC{)}_{s}igma$. There are seven classes of surfaces, which are called {it integrable surfaces}, and all integrable surfaces will be characterized by the (Lorentz) harmonicities of their Gau{ss} maps into the symmetric spaces $S^2$, $H^2$, $S^{1,1}$ or the 4-symmetric space $SL(2,mathbbC)/U(1)$. We also give a unification to all integrable surfaces via the generalized Weierstra{ss} type representation.
