The final was held on 29 May 2010 at Oslo 's Telenor Arena . Appearing fourth from last , Meyer-Landrut wore a simple black dress and performed on a bare stage with four backing singers . Her pared-back presentation reflected a trend that has had success at recent Eurovisions , as it did not feature any form of choreography , dancers or elaborate stage show . " Satellite " received a total of 246 points , giving Germany its first victory since 1982 , and the first win as a unified country . It also became the first winning song from a Big-Four country since Katrina and the Waves ' victory for the United Kingdom in 1997 . The song won over Turkey 's entry " We Could Be the Same " with a margin of 76 points , the third-biggest in Eurovision history , after Sweden 's participant Loreen managed a margin of 113 points in the 2012 contest and Alexander Rybak 's margin of 169 points in the 2009 contest . " Satellite " received the maximum 12 points nine times and received points from all but five countries
