The German preliminary decision for the Eurovision Song Contest 1975 took place under the title Ein Lied für Stockholm .
format
As in previous years, the then program director of Hessischer Rundfunk, Hans-Otto Grünefeld, commissioned the record companies to submit suitable interpreters and songs for the German preliminary round. A total of 15 performers competed with their titles.
This year the contributions were sung live by the performers. The show was led by the presenter Karin Tietze-Ludwig , who became known as Lottofee and who had already moderated the preliminary decision Ein Lied für Edinburgh 1972 for the hr.
A jury consisting of 36 people voted on the winner's title. Its members came from the following 9 cities in what was then the Federal Republic of Germany:
Each of the 9 city juries consisted of exactly 4 people, including a journalist, a musician, a layman interested in music and a television entertainment manager. Each jury member was able to give each title up to 5 points as the highest rating. Adding the points allocated resulted in the total in each case. For reasons of time, the results of individual evaluations were not disclosed in detail, only the total number of points achieved by each title was published. The winner was announced one hour after the end of the preliminary round.

Trivia
During the live broadcast, before Ricci Hohlt's contribution, there was a brief power outage of about 30 seconds, about which the FAZ wrote in retrospect: “The tricky technology caused a lonely high point of the Tralala in Frankfurt. Content and form coincided ”.
Joy Fleming's contribution A song can be a bridge only reached 17th place in Stockholm, yet it is one of the best and most popular German ESC songs among fans.
