On April 7, 2019, it was announced that after 5 years Michi & Smudo would not be returning to the show.^[5] On May 6, 2019, it was announced that after 3 years Yvonne Catterfeld would not be returning as a coach, though she confirmed she would remain on The Voice Senior.^[6] On May 22, 2019, it was announced that Michael Patrick Kelly would also not be returning as a coach, instead he would be transferring to the panel of the second season of The Voice Senior.^[7] On May 26, 2019, it was announced that Rea Garvey would be returning for his fifth season after a three-year hiatus, along with new coaches Alice Merton and Sido and returning coach Mark Forster.^[8] Therefore, for the first time in the history of The Voice of Germany, there are no duo coaches on the panel. This is also the first time since season 4 to have two debuting coaches.

Thore Schölermann and Lena Gercke both remained on the show as hosts.

A new round this season, entitled "Comeback Stage by SEAT", saw artists who did not turn a chair in the Blind Auditions as well as eliminated artists from later rounds of the competition, get a second chance to return to the competition for the live shows. On August 21, 2019, it was announced that Nico Santos would become a fifth coach, mentoring unsuccessful auditioners on an online version in The Comeback Stage.^[9] The artists remained, mentored by Nico Santos, competed against each other in a digital companion series, with the winners securing a spot in the Live Shows. In addition, the number of finalists were increased from 4 to 5 this season.

Battle rounds

The battle rounds were recorded from August 5, 2019 to August 7, 2019 in Berlin and were broadcast from October 13, 2019 until October 24, 2019, being broadcast like the blind auditions every Thursday on ProSieben and every Sunday on Sat.1.

The coaches can steal one losing artist from other coaches. Contestants who win their battle or are stolen by another coach will advance to the Sing-off. New to this season, is the introduction of the Steal Room. While steals have returned, each artist that is stolen this season will sit in a designated seat in the Steal Room as they watch the other performances. If a coach has stolen one artist but later decides to steal another, the first artist will be replaced and eliminated by the newly-stolen artist.

Sing offs

The sing offs were recorded in Berlin from September 10, 2019 to September 11, 2019 and were broadcast in two episodes on October 27, 2019 on Sat.1 and on October 31, 2019 on ProSieben. This season's advisors were Natasha Bedingfield for Team Mark, Ryan Tedder for Team Alice, James Blunt for Team Sido and Michael Schulte for Team Rea.^[12]

The Sing Off determines which two artists from each team will advance to the final round of competition, the Live Shows. In this round, after an artist performs, he or she will sit in one of two hot-seats above the stage. The first two artists performing from each team will sit down, but once the third artist performs, a coach has the choice of replacing the third artist with any artist sitting down or eliminating them immediately. Once all artists have performed, those who remain seated will advance to the Live Shows.

Comeback Stage

For this season, the show added a brand new phase of competition called The Voice: Comeback Stage by SEAT that was exclusive to thevoiceofgermany.de. It was shown for the first time in the fifteenth season of the American version. After failing to turn a chair in the blind auditions or eliminated from battles and sing offs, artists had the chance to be selected by fifth coach Nico Santos to become a member of his ten-person team.^[13] The two winners competed in the Live Shows against the talents of the coaches Alice Merton, Rea Garvey, Sido and Mark Forster live on television for a chance to win the ninth season of The Voice of Germany.
