Following Nemo’s win at the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö, Germany have confirmed that they will participate at next year’s edition of the contest, which is expected to be held in Switzerland.
Selection method to be confirmed
Germany’s participation in Switzerland was confirmed by ARD to ESCToday. However, the broadcaster is yet to confirm how they will be selecting Isaak’s successor.
This takes the number of countries confirmed up to 11. The already confirmed countries are: Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Denmark, Luxembourg, Malta, Portugal, Serbia, Spain and Switzerland.
Germany’s Eurovision History
Germany has been part of Eurovision since the beginning, debuting in 1956. Their debut entries were Walter Andreas Schwarz’s “Im Wartesaal zum großen Glück” and Freddy Quinn’s “So geht das jede Nacht”. Germany has appeared at every Eurovision except for 1996, which means they have been at more Contests than any other country. They have a long history of success in Eurovision, finishing in the top 3 an impressive 13 times. Germany has won the contest twice: Nicole won in 1982 with her song “Ein bißchen Frieden”, taking home 161 points. Their second win came in 2010, when Lena scored 246 points with her song “Satellite”.
Germany’s most recent Eurovision entry was Isaak with “Always on the Run”. As Germany is part of the Big 5, they automatically qualified for the Grand Final. In the Final, the song received 117 points and finished in 12th place – the first time the country has finished on the left hand side of the scoreboard since 2018.
