VH-1 Deutschland (VH-1 Germany) was a localised German version of the Viacom channel VH1 that was on air from 1995 until 2001. The programme was operated by Me, Myself & Eye Entertainment GmbH, the former editorial office of Tele 5's predecessor musicbox, in cooperation with MTV Networks Europe.

In contrast to the other language versions, VH-1 Deutschland had to use the January 1985 – 1987 US logo rather than the then-current logo of the US incarnation and consequently a different spelling, as the ARD saw too many parallels to its own logo in the original logo.[1]
