Germany in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2024

Germany debuted at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2020 in Warsaw, Poland. Children's television channel Kika, a joint venture of the German national broadcasters ARD and ZDF, broadcasts the event within Germany and organises the selection of the nation's entry in collaboration with ARD consortium member Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR).[1]

Germany's best result was in 2023, when the song "Ohne Worte" performed by Fia placed 9th out of 16 participating countries.

History

Before participation

Germany was originally going to take part in the 2003 contest in Copenhagen, but later withdrew from the contest.[2] They also planned to take part in the 2004 contest in Lillehammer but again withdrew from the contest.[3] In addition, NDR also broadcast the 2003,[4] 2015[5] and 2016 contests.[6] For 2003, the broadcaster organised a delayed broadcast on Kika whilst the contests in 2015 and 2016 were livestreamed via the broadcaster's Eurovision Song Contest website eurovision.de with commentary provided by Thomas Mohr.[7]

In May 2014, NDR announced they would not debut at the 2014 contest as they believed the contest would not be a success under German television marketing standards.[8] They did, however, observe the 2013 contest in Kyiv, Ukraine. ZDF attended the 2014 Contest in Malta. On 1 July 2015, ARD consortium member NDR launched an online poll to decide whether Germany should participate in the 2015 contest, which would be broadcast on their children's station, Kika (a joint venture of ARD and ZDF).[9] Germany ultimately did not participate.

In December 2019, Kika confirmed that a delegation from the broadcaster and NDR was attending the 2019 contest in Gliwice, Poland to experience the competition as part of the audience. It was emphasised that no decision had yet been made as to whether Germany would participate the following year or not although there were close discussions with the EBU.[10]

Debut

On 8 July 2020, Kika confirmed that a delegation from broadcasters NDR and ZDF was participating for the first time in the 2020 contest in Warsaw.[11] Their first ever representative, Susan Oseloff, finished in last place during the final on 29 November 2020, scoring 66 points. Nevertheless, Germany confirmed their participation in 2021 contest in France.[12] On 10 September 2021, a national final was held to select the German representative for the 2021 contest, and it was won by Pauline Steinmüller with the song "Imagine Us".[13] In Paris, Pauline finished 17th out of 19 countries, receiving 61 points.

On 2 August 2022, Kika and NDR confirmed they would not be participating in the 2022 edition in Yerevan, Armenia, wanting to take a "creative break", and citing partial travel warnings for Armenia issued by the Federal Foreign Office. They also confirmed that Kika would still be broadcasting the contest. The country returned to the contest in 2023.[14] Their entrant for 2023, Fia, with song "Ohne Worte" was also selected through a national final.[15] At the 2023 contest, held in Nice, Fia achieved the best result for Germany so far, finishing 9th with 107 points.

A national final was once again held to determine the German representative for the 2024 contest. It took place on 1 July 2024, with Bjarne emerging as winner. He represented Germany at the 2024 contest in Spain, with the song "Save the Best for Us", reaching 11th place and scoring 71 points.[16]
