You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''West Germany''' (performing as '''Germany''') took part in the '''Eurovision Song Contest 1982''', held in [[Harrogate]], [[North Yorkshire]], [[United Kingdom]].

==Before Eurovision==
807 songs were submitted for the German selection.<ref name=":0">((Cite book |last=Feddersen |first=Jan |title=Ein Lied kann eine Brücke sein. Die deutsche und internationale Geschichte des Grand Prix Eurovision |publisher=Hoffmann und Campe |year=2002 |isbn=3-455-09350-7 |location=Hamburg |pages=188-189 |language=de |oclc=48966334))</ref> A jury composed of 13 members chose 24 of them which then were presented on [[ARD (broadcaster)|ARD]]'s radio stations.<ref name=":0" /> A jury of 500 members then chose twelve entries for the national final.<ref name=":0" />

===Ein Lied für Harrogate===
The German national final to select their entry, ''Ein Lied für Harrogate'', was held on 20 March at [[Bayerischer Rundfunk]] Studio 4 in [[Unterföhring]], and was hosted by [[Carolin Reiber]] and Rudolf Rohlinger.<ref name=":0" />

Twelve songs made it to the national final, which was broadcast by Bayerischer Rundfunk to [[ARD (broadcaster)|ARD]] broadcasters across West Germany. The winner was decided by a sampling of 507 viewers who were meant to symbolize a fair representation of the country's population.<ref name=":0" /> Each person gave every song a vote, from 1 (for worst) to 12 (for best). Therefore, the theoretical "worst score" a song could receive would be 500, and the "best score" would be 6000. Three of the competitors previously represented other countries: French singer [[Séverine (singer)|Séverine]] won the [[Eurovision Song Contest 1971|1971 contest]] on behalf of [[Monaco in the Eurovision Song Contest|Monaco]], [[Paola del Medico|Paola]] previously represented her native [[Switzerland in the Eurovision Song Contest|Switzerland]] at two different contests ([[Eurovision Song Contest 1969|1969]] and [[Eurovision Song Contest 1980|1980]]), and [[Jürgen Marcus]] previously represented [[Luxembourg in the Eurovision Song Contest|Luxembourg]] at the [[Eurovision Song Contest 1976|1976 contest]]. Additionally, [[Mary Roos]] had represented Germany in [[Eurovision Song Contest 1972|1972]], and would return as the German representative [[Germany in the Eurovision Song Contest 1984|two years later]].

The winning entry was "[[Ein bißchen Frieden]]," performed by [[Nicole Seibert|Nicole]] and composed by [[Ralph Siegel (songwriter)|Ralph Siegel]] with lyrics by [[Bernd Meinunger]].

((wikinews|Eurovision '82 winner Nicole talks about 'Ein bißchen Frieden', her success and the Contest today))
Nicole was the eighteenth and final performer on the night of the Contest, following [[Ireland]]. At the close of the voting the song had received 161 points, placing first in a field of 18 competing countries.<ref>((cite web |title=Final of Harrogate 1982 |url=https://eurovision.tv/event/harrogate-1982/final |publisher=European Broadcasting Union |access-date=14 April 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210414065752/https://eurovision.tv/event/harrogate-1982/final |archive-date=14 April 2021 |url-status=live))</ref> A 61-point gap was recorded between Nicole and the second-place finisher, [[Avi Toledano]] from [[Israel]], setting a then record for the largest gap between first and second place.

==''Congratulations: 50 Years of the Eurovision Song Contest''==
((Main|Congratulations: 50 Years of the Eurovision Song Contest))
"Ein bißchen Frieden" was one of fourteen Eurovision songs chosen by fans and the EBU to participate in ''Congratulations'', the fiftieth-anniversary contest. It was the only German entry in the contest. Unlike the majority of other living entrants, Nicole was unable to attend, so the performance simply combined a dance troupe with footage of Nicole's 1982 performance. It was followed by a pre-taped greeting from Nicole. "Ein bißchen Frieden" was performed fifth, following "[[Eres tú]]" and preceding "[[Nel blu, dipinto di blu (song)|Nel blu dipinto di blu]]." After the first round, "Ein bißchen Frieden" was not one of the five songs chosen to proceed to the next round. It was later revealed that the song finished seventh, with 106 points.<ref name="congratulations" /> Notably, in spite of it being a major international hit and their only winning entry at the time (they would later win again five years later with [[Lena Meyer-Landrut|Lena]]'s "[[Satellite (Lena Meyer-Landrut song)|Satellite]]" at the ((Escyr|2010)) contest), Germany only awarded "Ein bißchen Frieden" three points in the first round, with their twelve going instead to [[ABBA]]'s "[[Waterloo (song)|Waterloo]]." Their twelve points in the second round were awarded to "Nel blu dipinto di blu."
