Germany participated in and hosted the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 in Düsseldorf with the song "Taken by a Stranger" written by Gus Seyffert, Nicole Morier and Monica Birkenes. The song was performed by Lena, who previously represented Germany in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2010 and won with the song "Satellite". In addition to participating in the contest, ARD and NDR also hosted the Eurovision Song Contest after winning the competition in 2010. ARD and NDR announced on 30 June 2010 that they had again selected Lena to represent Germany at the 2011 contest in Düsseldorf. A song selection entitled Unser Song für Deutschland was organised by ARD in collaboration with NDR, and consisted of two semi-finals and a final held in January and February 2011. The selection featured twelve competing songs with six songs competing in each semi-final; the top three songs advanced to the final via public televote. In the final, the winning song was selected through two rounds of public televoting. "Taken by a Stranger" was selected as the German song for Düsseldorf after placing among the top two during the first round of voting and ultimately gaining 79% of the votes in the second round.
As the host country, Germany qualified to compete directly in the final of the Eurovision Song Contest. Performing in position 16 during the final, Germany placed tenth out of the 25 participating countries with 107 points.
