The Miss Germany 2025 finale marks a turning point in the history of the competition. For the first time, the decision on who will wear the crown is in the hands of the audience, who can vote both in person and via TikTok. Additionally, this will be the final time that the competition is hosted at Europa-Park in Rust. On February 22, 2025, nine extraordinary women will take the stage at the Europa-Park Arena, competing under a brand-new evaluation system.
The Final Miss Germany Event at Europa-Park: A Night of Firsts
For over two decades, Europa-Park has served as the stage for the Miss Germany finale. This year, however, will mark the last time the prestigious event takes place in Rust. The 23rd and final edition at this venue introduces several major changes. A live audience of 500 guests will experience a spectacular show featuring top-tier live acts and a brand-new voting system.
The nine finalists were selected from over 1,000 applicants and represent a new generation of inspiring women. Their backgrounds are diverse, ranging from an artificial intelligence physician and a patent attorney to a carpenter working in a traditionally male-dominated industry. Other contenders include a management consultant, a CEO overseeing more than 300 employees, and an entrepreneur running a digital confectionery business. The lineup also features a fashion designer championing inclusivity and a tech innovator who developed a women’s health app.
New Voting System with Direct Audience Participation
For the first time in the competition’s history, the evaluation process has been completely revamped. Instead of a traditional jury decision, the competition is now divided into two phases. First, the jury will award three category-specific titles: the Female Founder Award for outstanding entrepreneurs, the Female Mover Award for women in male-dominated industries, and the Female Leader Award for visionary executives.
After these awards are presented, the winners of each category will face off in a final showdown for the main title of "Miss Germany 2025." Unlike previous years, the ultimate decision will not be made by the jury but by the audience. Viewers on-site and those watching the TikTok livestream will cast their votes in real-time to determine the winner.
This interactive format reflects the competition’s evolution, shifting the focus from aesthetics to personality, leadership, and social impact.
Esteemed Jury of Experts from Business, Sports, and Media
The jury consists of accomplished professionals from various fields, bringing a wealth of expertise to the judging process.
Evaluating the Female Founder category are content creator and business angel Diana zur Löwen alongside serial entrepreneur and startup investor Carsten Puschmann.
The Female Mover category will be judged by actress and author Sandra Lambeck and Isabel Grupp-Kofler, a successful entrepreneur from a renowned family business.
Overseeing the Female Leader category are former professional soccer player and investor Timo Hildebrand and digital marketing and e-commerce expert Maria von Scheel-Plessen.
With their combined experience, the jury members offer valuable perspectives, ensuring that the competition highlights true achievements and leadership qualities.
Workshops to Prepare Finalists for Their Future Careers
Beyond the finale, the participants will benefit from specialized workshops designed to support their professional and personal growth. LinkedIn, the world’s largest professional networking platform, will conduct interactive sessions focused on effective networking and long-term career strategies.
Additionally, the intimate care brand Multi-Gyn will offer a workshop dedicated to women’s health, addressing essential aspects of well-being and self-care.
These tailored training sessions further reinforce Miss Germany’s transformation from a traditional beauty contest into a platform that empowers ambitious women and provides lasting opportunities beyond the competition.
Miss Germany 2025: A Competition Embracing the Future
With its new structure, Miss Germany 2025 makes a bold statement of change. The introduction of audience voting, live broadcasting on TikTok, and category-specific awards elevate the competition to a new level. At the same time, the final event at Europa-Park signifies the end of an era.
On February 22, 2025, audiences can expect an electrifying show that showcases the competition’s evolution. With the final decision now in the hands of the public, this edition of Miss Germany is set to make history.
