2023-05-12T08:35:57.321Z

Highlights: Lena Meyer-Landrut won the ESC 2010 with her song "Satellite" With "Taken by a Stranger" she was granted 10th place in the end. At the ESC 2014 in Copenhagen, Germany was represented by Elaiza. The trio around Ela Steinmetz competed with "It Is Right" and took 18th place. Germany was last at the Eurovision Song Contest 2021 with Jendrik's song "I Feel Hate" The Great hopes on Lord of the Lost from Hamburg in 2023.



At the ESC 2023, Germany is relying on Lord of the Lost. But who has actually competed for the Federal Republic of Germany in the Eurovision Song Contest in recent years?

And just one year later, Lena was allowed to perform again at the ESC. © Jörg Carstensen/dpa2 / 13After winning the ESC 2010 for Germany, singer Lena Meyer-Landrut was allowed to compete again at the Eurovision Song Contest in Düsseldorf in 2021. With "Taken by a Stranger" she was granted 10th place in the end. © Jörg Carstensen/dpa3 / 13"Standing Still" was the name of the song by singer Roman Lob, with which he finished eighth at the ESC 2012. © Jörg Carstensen/dpa4 / 13Even before her participation in the ESC 2013 in Malmö, dancepop artist Cascada was a name in Germany. At the Eurovision Song Contest, however, her song "Glorious" should not be too well received. It was only enough for 21st place. © Jörg Carstensen/dpa5 / 13At the ESC 2014 in Copenhagen, Germany was represented by Elaiza. The trio around Ela Steinmetz competed with "It Is Right" – and took 18th place. This should mean Germany's best placement at the ESC by 2018. © Keld Navntoft/dpa6 / 13Her "Black Smoke" was not to be very well received: At the ESC 2015 in Vienna, Germany was represented by Ann Sophie. However, the singer was unable to score a single point – and consequently finished last. © Julian Stratenschulte/dpa7 / 13 was not Germany's year at the ESC either. With the lively singer Jamie-Lee and her contribution "Ghost" there were points again, namely eleven. However, this should only be enough for 2016th and last place. © Maja Suslin/dpa

My area8 / 13Only something for friends of gallows humor: With Levina, Germany was able to improve at the ESC 2017 – and now reach the penultimate place. The singer's "Perfect Life" was only able to score six points. But a year later, everything was about to change. © Julian Stratenschulte/dpa9 / 13This is what winners (of hearts) look like: Singer-songwriter Michael Schulte was able to reach fourth place for Germany at the ESC 2018 with his song "You Let Me Walk Alone". The piece, in which the curly-haired man deals with the early death of his father, collected a total of 340 points. © Jörg Carstensen/dpa10 / 13One year after Michael Schulte's appearance at the ESC, however, Germany went downhill again rapidly. With the duo S!sters and the song "Sister" only the 2019th place was reached at the ESC 25. © Sebastian Scheiner/dpa11 / 13And then came Corona: Due to the pandemic, the ESC 2020 had to be cancelled. Germany would have been represented by Ben Dolic and his song "Violent Thing". In the form of substitute music shows, the singer was allowed to enjoy a performance on stage after all. © Uwe Ernst/dpa12 / 13While Germany was "still" able to take penultimate place at the ESC 2019, Germany was once again last at the Eurovision Song Contest 2021. Singer Jendrik competed with the feel-good song "I Don't Feel Hate" - and was only able to celebrate three points at the end of the final. © Sören Stache/dpa13 / 13And at the ESC 2022, Germany was not granted more than the last place in the tableau. After all, Malik Harris was able to double last year's score with his song "Rockstars". Now there were six points. © Jens Büttner/dpa

Munich – Great hopes rest on the dark rockers Lord of the Lost from Hamburg. The musical quintet should and wants to represent Germany worthily at the ESC 2023 - and make the bankruptcies of recent years forgotten. Starting with Lena's ESC victory in 2010, the picture of the Federal Republic of Germany at the Eurovision Song Contest is very mixed. Respectable successes are followed by bankruptcies par excellence. From Lena to Malik Harris – this is how Germany has performed at the ESC since 2010.
