Eurovision Song Contest Season 56 Full Episode Guide
After Lena Meyer-Landrut's victory in Oslo, the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 travelled to Düsseldorf in Germany. It was the first time since 1983 that Germany hosted the contest. A total of forty-three countries took part in the 2011 contest held in Düsseldorf. The city emerged as the winner of an open selection process which saw several cities compete for the right to host the Eurovision Song Contest. The biggest news of this contest was the return of Italy, after more than ten years. Italy joined France, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom to form the so-called Big Five countries that have automatic qualification to the Grand Final. One of the most famous German comediennes, Anke Engelke, TV anchor Judith Rakers and all-round showman Stefan Raab hosted the event. Raab had also been part of Lena’s winning team in 2010.
