It was used as the German national final for the "Listen To The World - Song Festival #07" in Frankfurt/Main, Germany. The venue was the Rheingoldhalle and the event was hosted by Stefan Raab and Roman Lob. South-West-Broadcasting (SWR-RP) was the responsible broadcaster.

Bidding phase
Despite offering the smallest venue, Mainz was chosen as host city for the fifth edition. Koblenz already hosted the first edition and Arena Trier was unavailable contrary to previous statements by the operator.
