Abor & Tynna wins Chefsache ESC 2025
“Baller” won Chefsache ESC with 34.9% in the second, televote-only round, after advancing through the first round. The first round consisted of each act singing their own entry in addition to a cover song. The five that advanced were decided entirely by a jury consisting of permanent jurors Stefan Raab, and Yvonne Catterfeld; in addition to being joined by guest jurors for this evening Conchita Wurst, and Nico Santos.
Eurovision icon Barbara Schöneberger was the host of tonight’s final. Juror Nico Santos opened the show, with Yvonne Catterfeld performing a lipsync interval act during the second round voting. Stefan Raab inexplicably sang a parody song about last week’s German elections, and Friedrich Merz.

Germany’s Eurovision journey
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.
