"Feuer" - Ireen Sheer
"Fire (fire) that gives sense to your life, don't run away when you feel it's here, 'cause you're not in danger"
The German Final was held on February 20th at the SWF in Baden Baden - the contest was only broadcast on the radio, hosted by Detlef Werner. The winner was due to be chosen by the radio listeners (who would make up one third of the vote) and an "expert" jury (who would make up two thirds of the vote). However, the "experts" thought that none of the songs were good enough to represent Germany in the Eurovision and recommended that Germany withdraw from the contest. The SWF did not agree with this, and the winner was chosen by the radio listeners who awarded the songs a mark between 1-10.
