In 2010 , ARD approached former entrant and songwriter Stefan Raab and private network ProSieben to co-operate in finding a winning entry for the country . It has been said that Raab was approached due to his good record at the contest , finishing 5th in 2000 as well as writing entries in 1998 and 2004 , which finished 7th and 8th respectively . Raab agreed and conducted a TV casting show called '' Unser Star für Oslo '' ( '' Our star for Oslo '' ) which was broadcast on ARD and ProSieben . A winner arose in Lena Meyer-Landrut with " Satellite " , who went on to win the contest . Two further collaborations with ProSieben provided the second and third top ten result in a row respectively in 2011 ( Lena Meyer-Landrut with " Taken by a Stranger " ) and 2012 ( Roman Lob with " Standing Still " )
