It was presented by Alfred Fetscherin, Madeleine (last name unknown), and Mascia Cantoni. Hans Moeckel served as the musical director and accompanied the orchestra. The national final was broadcast on TV DRS and TSR.[3] Jo Roland, Ulla & Ulrik Neumann, the Horst Jankowski Choir, and Les Surfs made guest appearances.[3]
