Germany was represented by Wyn Hoop, with the song "Bonne nuit ma chérie", at the 1960 Eurovision Song Contest, which took place on 29 March in London. "Bonne nuit ma chérie" was chosen at the German national final held on 6 February. The song was sung in German despite its French title.

Germany's 1963 Eurovision representative Heidi Brühl finished runner-up in 1960; however her song "Wir wollen niemals auseinandergehn" topped the German singles chart for several weeks and was one of the year's biggest sellers.
