This is a recreation of the song "Im Wartesaal zum großen Glück" by Walter Andreas Schwarz. This is the first entry from the Germany 🇩🇪 in the 1956 contest and the first ever German entry in general. The clip is from a music video of the song from the 1960s.

T The 1956 Eurovision Song Contest was the first edition of the annual contest, held on the 24th of May. It was held in the Teatro Kursaal in Lugano, Switzerland 🇨🇭 and was hosted by Swiss presenter and commentator, Lohengrin Filipello, who would be the contest's only solo male host. Seven countries competed, with 2 songs for each, meaning 14 songs competed for the Grand Prix. The winner was Lys Assia, who represented Switzerland 🇨🇭 with her song "Refrain." However, the remaining results are unknown, as they were never shown to the public. It's also unknown why this edition became lost, as there's no clear answer or even mention on how it got lost, however, a recent behind the scenes clip from RAI confirms it was broadcast and presumably taped.
