The eleventh season of Deutschland sucht den Superstar was broadcast on German channel RTL from 8 January to 3 May 2014. The winner received a recording contract with Universal Music Group and €500,000. Participants had to be between 16 and 30 years old and could audition in 30 cities in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Kenneth "Kay One" Glöckler, Mieze Katz and Marianne Rosenberg served as the judges.

For the second year in a row, the season featured a female final top two and produced a female "superstar" for the third time in the show's history. Aneta Sablik was announced as the winner on 3 May 2014.

History

On 13 March 2013, RTL announced that there will be an eleventh season.{{cite web|title=RTL will DSDS trotz Zuschauer-Schwund fortsetzen|url=https://www.derwesten.de/kultur/fernsehen/rtl-will-dsds-trotz-zuschauer-schwund-fortsetzen-id7718518.html|work=derwesten.de|accessdate=5 January 2014|location=Cologne|language=German|date=13 March 2013|archive-date=21 December 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131221173908/http://www.derwesten.de/kultur/fernsehen/rtl-will-dsds-trotz-zuschauer-schwund-fortsetzen-id7718518.html|url-status=dead}}{{cite web|title="DSDS" wird trotz schlechter Quoten fortgesetzt|url=http://woodz.schwarzwaelder-bote.de/stars/news/11544-qdsdsq-wird-trotz-schlechter-quoten-fortgesetzt.html|work=schwarzwaelder-bote.de|accessdate=5 January 2014|language=German|date=13 March 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131215105602/http://woodz.schwarzwaelder-bote.de/stars/news/11544-qdsdsq-wird-trotz-schlechter-quoten-fortgesetzt.html|archive-date=15 December 2013|url-status=dead}} The judges from the previous season, with the exception of Dieter Bohlen, were replaced by rapper Kay One, singer Mieze Katz of the band MIA., and Schlager singer Marianne Rosenberg. Nazan Eckes returned as the host of the eleventh season, however, without Raúl Richter. Bill and Tom Kaulitz from Tokio Hotel and Mateo from Culcha Candela left after the completion of season 10. The season started on Wednesday, 8 January 2014, on RTL.

The season's headline was "Kandidaten an die Macht!" ("Candidates, take over!"). Therefore, it was the first season that the contestants were completely in charge of their song choice and their stage performance. This also enabled them to choose an original song.

The season premiere attracted 2.70 million viewers, which makes it the least-watched season premiere in the history of Deutschland sucht den Superstar.{{cite web | url=http://www.dwdl.de/zahlenzentrale/44176/schwaechster_dsdsstart_macht_biggest_loser_platt/ | title=Schwächster DSDS-Start macht "Biggest Loser" platt | author=Alexander Krei | publisher=DWDL.de | accessdate=20 January 2014 | language=German }} However, ratings improved up to 3.33 million viewers by episode three, which made it the most-watched episode of the season within the demographics between ages 14–49.{{cite web | url=http://www.dwdl.de/zahlenzentrale/44408/novum_dschungelcamp_zeigt_wetten_dass_die_ruecklichter/ | title=Dschungel zeigt "Wetten, dass..?" die Rücklichter | author=Timo Niemeier | publisher=DWDL.de | accessdate=20 March 2014 | language=German }}
