Germany was represented by Margot Eskens, with the song "Die Zeiger der Uhr", at the 1966 Eurovision Song Contest, which took place on 5 March in Luxembourg City. For the first time since 1959 the German entry was chosen internally, rather than through a public final, by broadcaster HR. Eskens had previously finished third in the German national final in 1962.
