Events

• 1 February - Tony Marshall is selected to represent Germany at the 1976 Eurovision Song Contest with his song "Der Star". He is selected to be the twenty-first German Eurovision entry during Ein Lied für Den Haag held at the HR Studios in Frankfurt, but was later disqualified when it was discovered that the song had been performed in public prior to the national final. Les Humphries Singers, who were the runners-up performing "Sing Sang Song" were therefore promoted and announced as the twenty-first German Eurovision entry.
