Apameh Schönauer was crowned Miss Germany 2024 on February 24. The 39-year-old is of Iranian origin and the mother of two children.

A wave of hatred has targeted her on social networks. She was elected on the basis of new criteria decreed in 2019. The crown is now banned in favor of the sash, and the event has been reformed to focus on commitment, creativity and personality traits, not appearance. The idea? Understand that the “Miss” are no longer “queens” corresponding to the clichés of feminine beauty.
