Wer singt für Deutschland? (English: Who sings for Germany?) was the competition that selected Germany's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2007. The competition took place on 8 March 2007 at the Schauspielhaus in Hamburg, hosted by Thomas Hermanns.[1] Three acts competed during the show with the winner being selected through a public televote. The show was broadcast on Das Erste as well as online via the NDR's official website ndrtv.de.[2]

Three acts were selected by an expert panel consisting of representatives of the entertainment department for NDR.[3] Two of the participating acts were announced on 20 December 2006 and the third act was announced on 23 January 2007.[4][5]
