Germany: Results of Heat 1 of Chefsache ESC 2025!

Germany has started its search for its representative and participation in Eurovision 2025. The “Chefsache ESC 2025,” as the process followed by German television is now called, consists of two qualifying rounds, a semi-final, and a final. The first qualifying round (Heat 1) was completed a few minutes ago, with seven contestants advancing to the next phase of the semi-final.

The host of the night was Barbara Schöneberger.

The jury consisted of:

• Stefan Raab: A Eurovision legend in Germany, whose history dates back to 1998 with the song “Guildo hat euch lieb!” (7th place) by Guildo Horn. He represented Germany in 2000 with “Wadde hatte dudde da?” finishing fifth, and wrote Max Mutzke’s song in 2004, which also made it into the top 10. His biggest success came in 2010 when he led Lena to victory with the song “Satellite.” Raab also hosted Eurovision 2011 and was a judge for Germany in 2012.
• Yvonne Catterfeld: A German singer who was involved in Eurovision as a member of the jury for “Unser Star für Oslo,” the national selection that chose Lena.
• Elton: A presenter who was also involved in Germany’s selection in 2010, hosted the national final in 2018, and was the host of Germany’s voting in 2023.
