The sixteenth season of Germany's Next Topmodel aired on German television network ProSieben from 4 February to 27 May 2021, under the catch phrase We are GNTM.
The winner of this season was 23-year-old Alex-Mariah Peter from Cologne, who is notably the first trans woman to win Germany's Next Topmodel. Her prizes include:
- A cover and spread in the German edition of Harper's Bazaar.
- A cash prize worth €100,000.
- An Opel Mokka
The following prize have been removed:
- A modeling contract with Günther Klum's OneEins GmbH Management worth €140,000.
Due to the COVID-19 epidemic, the season was filmed under strict COVID-19 regulations, including travel restrictions, resulting in the sixteenth season being the first and only season filmed entirely in Germany. As a result of these restrictions, a preselection was held instead of open castings, and the first episode started with 31 finalists.
