Germany participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 1999 with the song "Reise nach Jerusalem – Kudüs'e Seyahat" written by Ralph Siegel and Bernd Meinunger. The song was performed by the group Sürpriz. The German entry for the 1999 contest in Jerusalem, Israel was selected through the national final Countdown Grand Prix 1999, organised by the German broadcaster ARD in collaboration with Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR). The national final took place on 12 March 1999 and featured eleven competing acts with the winner being selected through public televoting. "Hör den Kindern einfach zu" performed by Corinna May was originally selected as the German entry for Jerusalem after gaining 32.6% of the votes, however the song was disqualified for having been released in 1997 by another act and replaced with runner-up "Reise nach Jerusalem – Kudüs'e Seyahat" performed by Sürpriz.
