Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:About Шаблон:Infobox song contest country
Germany has officially participated in every Eurovision Song Contest since its inaugural edition in Шаблон:Escyr, except in Шаблон:Escyr when its entry did not qualify past the audio-only pre-selection round, and consequently was not seen in the broadcast final and does not count as one of Germany's 66 appearances. No other country has been represented as many times. Along with Шаблон:Esccnty, Шаблон:Esccnty, Шаблон:Esccnty and the Шаблон:Esccnty, Germany is one of the "Big Five" countries that are automatically prequalified for the final, due to being the largest financial contributors to the European Broadcasting Union (EBU). The final is broadcast in Germany on ARD's flagship channel, Шаблон:Lang.
Germany first won the contest in Шаблон:Escyr, when Nicole won with "Ein bißchen Frieden". The second German victory came 28 years later at the Шаблон:Escyr contest, when Lena won with "Satellite". Katja Ebstein, who finished third in Шаблон:Escyr and Шаблон:Escyr, then second in Шаблон:Escyr, is the only performer to have made the top three on three occasions. Germany has a total of 11 top three placements, also finishing second with Lena Valaitis (Шаблон:Escyr) and twice with the group Wind (1985 and 1987), and finishing third with Mary Roos (1972), Mekado (1994) and Sürpriz (1999). Germany has finished last on ten occasions, receiving nul points in Шаблон:Escyr, Шаблон:Escyr and Шаблон:Escyr.
While having not reached the top-ten in 13 of the last 19 contests (2005–23), Michael Schulte achieved Germany's second-best result of the 21st century, by finishing fourth at the Шаблон:Escyr contest. Although German contestants have had varied levels of success, public interest remains high and the contest is one of the most-watched events each year.[1]
History
The Federal Republic of Germany has participated in the contest since its inception in Шаблон:Escyr.[2] Before German reunification in 1990, the country was occasionally presented as "West Germany". The German Democratic Republic (East Germany) did not participate in the Eurovision Song Contest, and instead took part in the Intervision Song Contest.
With one win (Шаблон:Escyr) and four second-place results (Шаблон:Escyr, Шаблон:Escyr, Шаблон:Escyr and Шаблон:Escyr), Germany was the second most successful country in the contest in the 1980s, behind Ireland, who had two wins in the decade.
1996 absence
ARD had selected an artist and song to represent them at the Шаблон:Escyr, to be held in Oslo, Norway. Due to the large number of countries wanting to compete at Eurovision, the EBU determined that only 23 of the 30 countries could compete. Hosts Norway qualified automatically, the other 29 songs went into an audio-only pre-qualification round, with the top 22 going on to compete alongside Norway in Oslo. Unfortunately for Germany, its entry, Leon with "Planet of Blue", failed to earn enough points to progress to the final, finishing 24th. ARD and the EBU were not happy with this, as Germany was the biggest financial contributor at the time. This is the only time that Germany has been absent from the contest.
2000s
In the 2000s, Germany has been notable for their adoption of musical styles which are not typical of Eurovision, such as country and western (Texas Lightning – "No No Never" in Шаблон:Escyr) and swing (Roger Cicero – "Шаблон:Lang" in Шаблон:Escyr and Alex Swings Oscar Sings – "Miss Kiss Kiss Bang" in Шаблон:Escyr). Germany had some successes throughout the decade, Lou - "Let's Get Happy" came in 11th place out of 26 in Шаблон:Escyr. Germany tied for last in Шаблон:Escyr for points, but was awarded 23rd of 25 places when the results were posted. In 2009, ARD held an internal selection for the first time since 1995 due to lack of interest and viewing figures of the German national finals.[3] Alex Christensen and Oscar Loya were selected to represent Germany at the 2009 contest, where they performed on stage with burlesque artist Dita Von Teese. However they only managed to receive 35 points, placing 20th of 25 competing countries.
2010s
In Шаблон:Escyr, ARD approached former entrant and songwriter Stefan Raab and private network ProSieben to co-operate in finding a winning entry for the country. It has been said that Raab was approached due to his good record at the contest, finishing 5th in Шаблон:Escyr as well as writing entries in Шаблон:Escyr and Шаблон:Escyr, which finished 7th and 8th, respectively. Raab agreed and conducted a TV casting show called Шаблон:Lang which was broadcast on ARD and ProSieben. A winner arose in Lena Meyer-Landrut with "Satellite", who went on to win the contest. Two further collaborations with ProSieben provided the second and third top ten result in a row respectively in Шаблон:Escyr (Lena, who returned to defend her title with "Taken by a Stranger") and Шаблон:Escyr (Roman Lob with "Standing Still").
The streak of top 10 finishes was broken in the Шаблон:Escyr contest, when Cascada's song "Glorious" finished 21st with 18 points. The group Elaiza in Шаблон:Escyr, Ann Sophie in Шаблон:Escyr, Jamie-Lee in Шаблон:Escyr and Levina in Шаблон:Escyr finished in 18th, 27th (last), 26th (last) and 25th (second to last) place respectively. Ann Sophie became the country's third entry to finish with nul points, after Nora Nova in Шаблон:Escyr and Ulla Wiesner in Шаблон:Escyr, and the first since the introduction of the current scoring system in 1975.
Germany's luck changed in Шаблон:Escyr, when Michael Schulte brought them back to the top 5 for the first time since 2010 with "You Let Me Walk Alone", finishing in fourth place. This is the first time since 2012 that more than one country from the "Big Five" has made the top ten (with Italy finishing fifth) and the second time (after 2002) that two "Big Five" countries have made the top five since the establishment of the rule. Шаблон:Escyr, the duo Sisters with the song "Sister" was not able to replicate the same success, receiving no points from the televote to finish in 25th place overall with 24 points.
2020s
Three further bottom five results were recorded by Germany at the start of the decade, that of Jendrik in Шаблон:Escyr (also receiving no points from the televote), Malik Harris in Шаблон:Escyr (receiving no points from the juries) and Lord of the Lost in Шаблон:Escyr.
Organisation
Since 1996, ARD consortium member Шаблон:Lang (NDR) has been responsible for Germany's participation in the contest. The responsibility for Germany's participation in the contest has changed hands between the different broadcasters over the years:[4]
- Nord-und Westdeutscher Rundfunkverband (NWRV)Шаблон:Snd1956
- Шаблон:Lang (HR)Шаблон:Snd1957, 1959–1961, 1963–1964, 1966–1971, 1973–1977
- Шаблон:Lang (WDR)Шаблон:Snd1958
- Шаблон:Lang (SWF)Шаблон:Snd1962, 1978
- Шаблон:Lang (NDR)Шаблон:Snd1965, 1996–present
- Шаблон:Lang (SFB)Шаблон:Snd1972, 1991
- Шаблон:Lang (BR)Шаблон:Snd1979–1990
- Шаблон:Lang (MDR)Шаблон:Snd1992–1995
In 1991 SFB worked in partnership with the East German broadcaster Deutscher Fernsehfunk (DFF) to select the German entry for that year's contest. Between 2010 and 2012, private broadcaster Шаблон:Lang worked in partnership with NDR.[4]
Germany has often changed the selection process for the country's entry in the contest, with both national finals and internal selections (occasionally a combination of both formats) having been held.[4]
Germany and the "Big Five"
Since 1999, Germany, along with Шаблон:Esccnty, Шаблон:Esccnty and the Шаблон:Esccnty, have automatically qualified for the Eurovision final regardless of their results in previous contests.[5] These countries earned this special status by being the four biggest financial contributors to the EBU, and subsequently became known as the "Big Four". In 2008, it was reported that the "Big Four" could lose their status and be forced to compete in the semi-finals;[6] however, this never materialised, and the rule remained in place.[7] When Italy returned to the contest in 2011, it was given the same untouchable status, thus upgrading the countries to members of a "Big Five".[8][9]
Germany was the first Big Five country to win the contest after the rule was introduced, courtesy of Lena in Шаблон:Escyr. In terms of success, it is currently second behind Italy, which won in Шаблон:Escyr with Måneskin, and finished second in Шаблон:Escyr with Raphael Gualazzi and again in Шаблон:Escyr with Mahmood. However, taking into account Italy's absence from the contest for the first 11 years of the rule's existence, Germany remains the only country to have won out of the original "Big Four".

Commentators and spokespersons
Шаблон:More citations needed section Over the years, commentary on ARD has been provided by several experienced radio and television presenters, including Ado Schlier, Thomas Gottschalk, Jan Hofer, Wolf Mittler, Fritz Egner and Werner Veigel. Peter Urban has provided commentary on Das Erste every year since 1997, and has only been absent once, in 2009, when he was forced to step down due to illness, with Tim Frühling from HR filling in to commentate in Moscow.[13] For the later-cancelled Шаблон:Escyr contest, Michael Schulte was set to commentate together with Urban. Both commentated the official EBU replacement show Eurovision: Europe Shine a Light instead, as well as the German replacement show Eurovision 2020 – das deutsche Finale from the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg. Urban stepped down as the German commentator after the Шаблон:Escyr.[14]
