Germany’s national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2025, Chefsache ESC 2025 – Wer singt für Deutschland? ("Top Priority ESC 2025 – Who sings for Germany?"), concluded on March 1, 2025. The competition, a joint effort by ARD, RTL, and music producer Stefan Raab, aimed to revamp Germany’s Eurovision approach. The grand final took place at EMG Studio 8 in Hürth, near Cologne, hosted by Barbara Schöneberger.
Nine acts competed in the final, performing their potential Eurovision entries. A jury panel featuring Stefan Raab, Conchita Wurst, Nico Santos, and Yvonne Catterfeld selected five acts to advance to the superfinal:
The Great Leslie
LEONORA
Moss Kena
Abor & Tynna
LYZA
In the superfinal, the decision was entirely in the hands of the public through televoting. The final results were:
Abor & Tynna – "Baller" (34.9%)
LYZA (31.1%)
Moss Kena (22.6%)
LEONORA (7.0%)
The Great Leslie (4.4%)
Brother-sister duo Abor & Tynna won with Baller, a high-energy track that captivated the German audience. Originally from Vienna, the siblings come from a musically rich background— their father is a cellist with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. Since 2016, they have been writing and performing together, appearing in cities like Vienna, Berlin, and Hanover, and supporting Nina Chuba on tour in 2024.
The introduction of Chefsache ESC marked a major shift in Germany’s selection process, bringing in fresh perspectives and industry expertise. With Stefan Raab’s influence—having previously helped Germany secure its last victory with Lena in 2010—the selection aimed to restore the country’s Eurovision competitiveness.
With Baller, Abor & Tynna will represent Germany in Basel, Switzerland, at Eurovision 2025. Their energetic performance and modern sound have raised expectations, with fans eager to see how they will fare on the international stage
