Germany Prepares to Choose Eurovision 2025 Representative in Stefan Raab-Led Finale

Nine finalists will compete in a public vote to represent Germany at the Eurovision Song Contest Basel, with Raab aiming to revive the country's fortunes.

The German Eurovision 2025 representative will be selected during the live finale of 'Chefsache ESC 2025' on Saturday evening, broadcast on ARD and other platforms.
Stefan Raab, a key figure in Germany's Eurovision history, has returned to oversee the selection process, which included three preliminary shows on RTL before the finale.
Nine acts remain in contention, including fan-favorite Feuerschwanz, singer-songwriter JULIKA, and international contenders like Moss Kena and The Great Leslie.
The finale will feature two rounds: the jury will narrow the field to five acts, and the public will then choose the winner through calls, texts, and online voting.
Germany's recent Eurovision track record has been poor, with Raab setting an ambitious goal of securing a first-place finish at the May 17 event in Basel.
