Background

{{main|Germany in the Eurovision Song Contest}}

Prior to the 2025 contest, ARD has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest representing Germany 67 times since its debut at {{Escyr|1956||the inaugural contest}} in 1956, making Germany, to this point, the country with the most entries in the contest: they have taken part in every edition except in {{esccnty|Germany|y=1996|t=1996}} when they were eliminated in a pre-qualification round. They have won the contest on two occasions: in {{esccnty|Germany|y=1982|t=1982}} with the song "{{lang|de|Ein bißchen Frieden|i=no}}" performed by Nicole, and in {{esccnty|Germany|y=2010|t=2010}} with the song "Satellite" performed by Lena. In {{esccnty|Germany|y=2024|t=2024}}, "Always on the Run" performed by Isaak placed 12th out of 26 competing songs in the final with 117 points.{{cite web |title=Germany |url=https://eurovision.tv/country/germany |access-date=2023-08-09 |work=Eurovision.tv |publisher=European Broadcasting Union (EBU)}}

As part of its duties as participating broadcaster, ARD organises the selection of its entry in the Eurovision Song Contest and broadcasts the event in the country. ARD confirmed its participation in the 2025 contest on 27 May 2024.{{Cite web |last=Jiandani |first=Sanjay (Sergio) |date=2024-05-27 |title=Germany: ARD confirms participation at Eurovision 2025 |url=https://esctoday.com/195255/germany-ard-confirms-participation-at-eurovision-2025/ |access-date=2024-12-03 |website=ESCToday |language=en-US}} Since 1996, ARD has delegated the participation in the contest to its member {{lang|de|Norddeutscher Rundfunk|i=no}} (NDR). Since 2022, NDR had set up national finals with several artists to choose both the song and performer to compete in the contest. On 29 October 2024, the broadcaster announced that it would organise a multi-artist national final in collaboration with private broadcaster RTL and Stefan Raab.{{Cite web |last= |title=ARD, RTL und Stefan Raab organisieren ESC-Vorentscheid 2025 |url=https://www.eurovision.de/news/ARD-RTL-und-Stefan-Raab-organisieren-ESC-Vorentscheid-2025,auswahlverfahren104.html |trans-title=ARD, RTL and Stefan Raab organize ESC preliminary round 2025|access-date=2024-12-03 |website=eurovision.de |language=de}} Raab, a three-time German Eurovision participant (as singer and/or songwriter) and co-presenter of the {{Escyr|2011||2011 contest}} in Düsseldorf, had previously worked with NDR on its national finals between 2010 and {{esccnty|Germany|y=2012|t=2012}}.{{Cite web |date=2024-10-29 |title=🇩🇪 ARD, RTL and Stefan Raab to organise Germany’s Eurovision 2025 selection |url=https://thateurovisionsite.com/2024/10/29/ard-rtl-stefan-raab-germany-esc2025/ |access-date=2024-12-03 |website=That Eurovision Site |language=en-GB}}{{Cite web |last=Argyriou |first=Giannis |date=2024-10-29 |title=Germany: ARD, RTL, and Stefan Raab Collaborate for Eurovision 2025 Representative Selection |url=https://eurovisionfun.com/en/2024/10/germany-ard-rtl-and-stefan-raab-collaborate-for-eurovision-2025-representative-selection/ |access-date=2024-12-03 |website=Eurovisionfun |language=en-US}}

== Heats ==

Two heats took place on 14 and 15 February 2025. In each heat each, twelve artists performed a cover song or their own song (though not their candidate Eurovision song should they progress to the semi-final), and an expert jury selected seven acts to proceed to the semi-final. The jury panel for both shows consisted of producer Stefan Raab, singer and actress Yvonne Catterfeld, and presenter Elton, while {{esccnty|Germany|y=2004|t=2004 German entrant}} Max Mutzke and singer-songwriter Johannes Oerding featured as guest jurors in the first and second heat, respectively.{{Cite web |date=2025-02-11 |title=Artists split for Chefsache ESC 2025 has been announced |url=https://escbubble.com/2025/02/artists-split-for-chefsache-esc-2025-has-been-announced/ |access-date=2025-02-13 |website=ESCBubble |language=en-GB}}
