Germany was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 1991 with the song "Dieser Traum darf niemals sterben", composed by Alfons Weindorf, with lyrics by Helmut Frey, and performed by six-member group Atlantis 2000. The German participating broadcaster on behalf of ARD, Sender Freies Berlin (SFB), selected their entry through a national final.
Before Eurovision
Ein Lied für Rom
The national final was held at the Friedrichstadtpalast in Berlin, hosted by Hape Kerkeling. Ten songs took part and the winner was chosen by a panel of 1,000 people, selected as providing a representative cross-section of the German public, who were telephoned and asked to choose their favourite song. One of the other participants was Cindy Berger, who had represented Germany at Eurovision in 1974 as half of duo Cindy & Bert.
On the night of the final Atlantis 2000 performed 17th in the running order, following Finland and preceding Belgium. At the close of voting "Dieser Traum darf niemals sterben" had received only 10 points, placing Germany 18th of the 22 entries, the country's lowest Eurovision finish to that date. The German jury awarded its 12 points to contest winners Sweden.
The show was watched by 6.28 million viewers in Germany.
