After Germany finished 21st in the Eurovision Song Contest 2002 , head of delegation Jürgen Meier-Beer wanted to renew the national final . In an interview , he said : Nevertheless , the formula was similar as in recent years - the best known record labels in Germany were again asked to submit entries for the national final . Furthermore , five well-known newspapers and magazines were asked to submit one song each : Tabloid '' BILD '' submitted Elmar Brandt 's project Die Gerd Show with a parody on Gerhard Schröder to Kiel , the '' Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung '' submitted DJMDG , die tageszeitung Senait , who was also supported by politician Claudia Roth , Freistil were submitted by teenager magazine '' Yam ! '' and Tagträumer feat . Aynur by Turkish newspaper '' Hürriyet '' . Actually , 15 songs were supposed to be presented , but Joachim Deutschland and his song " Marie " were disqualified , because the singer had insulted the Bavarian minister-president Edmund Stoiber in one of his other songs and because of inappropriate lines in his entry
