Rules
- In the following, the German terms are used -

Normally, every player has to pick an artist from their exact Bundesland or from the country which had the occupying power. Meaning: Note: Baden-Württemberg could technically also borrow from the USA, but to make it more balanced, it's only able to borrow from France.
 * May normally borrow from France:, &
 * May normally borrow from a country from the former Soviet Union:, , , &
 * May normally borrow from the United Kingdom:, , &
 * May normally borrow from the United States of America:, &

Special provision for the third edition: Every Bundesland had to be represented by an artist from the actual Bundesland.

Community Bundesland: , and  didn't get a new head of delegation, so they became Community Bundesländer for this edition (additionally to Berlin).
 * every participant may send songs and the actual participant will then be selected in something like a national final (see "Unser Song für Koblenz")

Voting
For this edition, the voting system had to be changed. Every voting Bundesland awarded 1 to 100 points to every competing song, excluding themselves. More points mean, the head of delegation of a Bundesland liked a song more than another song which got awarded fewer points. Every "non-community-Bundesland" received an extra amount of points (av.), namely the average score of their points received from all other voting Bundesländer. This ensured fair voting with four non-voting Community-Bundesländer. To make the results more comparable to the other editions, the points were redistributed in the 12-points-system (total amount of points: 928) with the help of different statistics and calculations. The placings did not change because of this.
