NDR will continue organising Germany’s Eurovision participation in 2025.
ARD, the German national broadcaster, confirmed to ESC Kompakt that Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR), would continue to select the German Eurovision entry in 2025. This contrasts previous reports that NDR was going to hand over the organisation of German Eurovision entries to another broadcaster within ARD, with Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk (MDR) being the rumoured successor. Several other producers, most notably Stefan Raab, also offered to create a new German national final format.
ARD (Arbeitsgemeinschaft der öffentlich-rechtlichen Rundfunkanstalten der Bundesrepublik Deutschland), is a consortium of regional broadcasters throughout Germany. Throughout its participation at Eurovision, the responsibility of selecting the German entry has been handled by several different broadcasters. NDR has been responsible for Germany’s participation in the contest since 1996.
NDR will announce details about how the German entry for Eurovision 2025 will be selected at a later date. Since 2022, all German Eurovision entries have been selected through a national final.

Germany in the Eurovision Song Contest
Germany was one of seven countries to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1956. The country has taken part in every contest since then, apart from in 1996, when they failed to make it through the qualifying round. To date Germany has won the contest twice. The first time was in 1982 when Nicole sang “Ein Bisschen Frieden” in Harrogate, which later became a global hit. Germany didn’t win again until 2010 when Lena sang “Satellite” in Oslo. She received 9 sets of 12 points, scoring 246 points overall.
