Germany in the Eurovision Song Contest 1965


Germany was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 1965 with the song "Paradies, wo bist du?", written by Barbara Kist and Hans Blum, and performed by Ulla Wiesner. The German participating broadcaster on behalf of ARD, Norddeutscher Rundfunk, selected its entry through a national final.

Before Eurovision

Norddeutscher Rundfunk held the national final at its studios in Hamburg, hosted by Henno Lohmeyer. Six songs took part, with the winning song chosen by an 11-member jury who each awarded one point to their favourite song. "Paradies, wo bist du?" was the choice of 8 of the jurors.

At Eurovision

On the night of the final Wiesner performed 5th in the running order, following and preceding. Voting was by each national jury awarding 5-3-1 to their top 3 songs, and at the close "Paradies, wo bist du?" was one of four songs which had failed to pick up a single point. This was the fourth consecutive contest in which four countries had failed to score, and a second consecutive nul-points for Germany, their last until 2015, 50 years later. The German jury awarded its 5 points to contest winners.
