Germany was one of seven countries to participate in the first Eurovision Song Contest in 1956. The country has taken part in every contest since then, apart from in 1996, when they failed to make it through the qualifying round. To date, Germany has won the contest twice. The first time was in 1982, when Nicole sang “Ein bisschen Frieden” in Harrogate, which later became a global hit. Germany didn’t win again until 2010, when Lena sang “Satellite” in Oslo. She received 9 sets of 12 points, scoring 246 points overall.
