Iranian-born woman wins “Miss Germany’s election” after a long selection process. Apameh Schönauer, mother of two children, made clear her commitment to women's rights with a focus on Iran.

The 39-year-old prevailed against eight other women in Rust, southern Baden. The architect with roots in Iran wants to advocate for young women with a migrant background, as she said during the show. 15,000 women applied for this year's competition.
