At Eurovision

HR hosted the Eurovision Song Contest 1957 in Frankfurt, when there was still no format in place for the previous year's winning broadcaster to host the following year,[17] and following Switzerland hosting and winning in 1956.[18][19] "Script error: No such module "Lang"." was conducted by Willy Berking.[20] Hielscher performed seventh, following the Template:Esccnty and preceding Template:Esccnty.[21] The song received eight votes, placing fourth in a field of ten.[21]

In order to overcome language barriers, the lyrics include some greetings and simple words in other European languages.[22] The song's lyrics gave rise to what is generally considered the first performance with a prop in the contest history, with Hielscher in fact picking up a real telephone receiver during her performance.[23][24][25]

Eurovision Song Contest 1957 was broadcast on ARD's Deutsches Fernsehen and on HR's radio station Zweites Programm.[26][27] Excerpts from the show were also broadcast on UKW West (WDR) on 29 April 1957 at 21:15 CET.[28][29]

Each participating broadcaster assembled a ten-member jury panel.[30] Every jury member could give one vote to his or her favourite song.[30]
