Two Viennese Want to Represent Germany at the Eurovision Song Contest 2025

Stefan Raab selected the music duo Abor & Tynna along with his team from a stack of 3,281 applications. Some acts that want to go to the Eurovision Song Contest for Germany already have a certain fan base, others are still relatively unknown.

Eurovision Song Contest 2025: Viennese Duo in the Preliminary Round in Germany

The latter category probably also includes Abor & Tynna - real names Tünde and Attila Bornemisza -, who see themselves in the field of pop, hip-hop and electronic music and can refer to musical genes. Their father Csaba Bornemisza is a cellist with the Vienna Philharmonic. The brother and sister recorded their first joint song in 2016, and in 2024 Abor & Tynna were the support act on Nina Chuba's tour. "We have had an adventurous journey behind us and an even more adventurous one ahead of us," the Viennese duo is open to what now awaits them.

The competition includes Noah Levi from Berlin, who became known at 13 as the winner of "The Voice Kids", Moss Kena, a British singer-songwriter from Berlin, the Munich band COSBY or the medieval rockers Feuerschwanz. So, an illustrious group is vying for the German ESC ticket. Twelve of the 24 starters are to perform in the opening show of "Chefsache ESC 2025 - Who sings for Germany?" on February 14 and face the jury, which includes Stefan Raab, presenter Elton and singer Yvonne Catterfeld. In addition, there are changing guest jurors. The second half of the field of applicants will then be seen in the second show the following day (February 15). The third show is then scheduled as a semi-final a week later. The final with the selection of the German ESC contribution can be seen on ARD on March 1.

Barbara Schöneberger Hosts German Preliminary Round for Eurovision Song Contest 2025

This year, ARD has teamed up with RTL and Stefan Raab for the ESC preliminary round to find a suitable candidate. Therefore, the channels share the total of four live shows. They are all hosted by Barbara Schöneberger. In recent years, Germany has had several failures in the European music competition. Raab, on the other hand, is considered an ESC guru, as he coached Lena Meyer-Landrut ("Satellite") to victory in 2010. Since last year, he has been back on television after a longer screen break.
