Germany in EuroMusic Song Contest 2

Germany participated in the second edition of the EuroMusic Song Contest. The German broadcaster, ADR, was responsible for their act. Germany hosted the contest, because they won the previous edition.

Selection process
For their second participation the German broadcaster decided to select their submission internally. For this edition, like the two previous onces, the EBU decided that the countries have to perform a song in their own national language. Because of this, Germany has to perform an act in the German language.

Later on, the French language song "L'enfer et moi" was selected as act for the second edition in Düsseldorf.

Hosting
Because Germany won the first edition, they got the rights to host the contest. A bit later, the ADR announced to host the second edition. It was the first time that the winning country organised the next edition.

The German broadcaster announced that they would hold a selection. Berlin, Düsseldorf, Hanover and Munich sended a bit. Later on, Düsseldorf was chosen with the ISS Dome as host venue.

Barbara Schöneberger was selected as presenter.

At EuroMusic Song Contest
Germany was drawn to perform fourth following Greece and preceding Cyprus, the winner of the contest.

Germany became 11th with 19 points.

Voting
The voting during the final consisted of 50 percent public televoting and 50 percent from a jury deliberation. The jury consisted of five music industry professionals who were citizens of the country they represent. This jury was asked to judge each contestant based on: vocal capacity; the stage performance; the song's composition and originality; and the overall impression by the act. In addition, no member of a national jury could be related in any way to any of the competing acts in such a way that they cannot vote impartially and independently.

Below is a breakdown of points awarded to Germany and awarded by Germany in the final.
