Germany was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 1971 with the song "Diese Welt", composed by Dieter Zimmermann, with lyrics by Fred Jay, and performed by Katja Ebstein. The German participating broadcaster on behalf of ARD, Hessischer Rundfunk (HR), selected its entry through a national final, after having previously selected the performer internally. This was the second of Ebstein's three appearances for Germany at Eurovision and she became the second performer, after Margot Hielscher, to represent the country in successive years.
