Anke Engelke  will have the honour of hosting the German national final next month. Anke is no new face to the Eurovision Song Contest as she co hosted the 2011 Eurovision Song Contest with Stefan Raab and Judith Rakers. In 2012 she had the honour of announcing the German votes at the 2012 Eurovision Song Contest.

Anke Engelke is a celebrated German actress and tv personality in Germany enjoying name, fame and great recognition. Last October esctoday.com reported on  a massive grass- root movement  kicked off in Germany in its quest to see Anke Engelke host the forthcoming German national final. The reasons behind this were that the German tv host is very popular in Germany, attracts a huge audience and is an experienced television host. Anke is a multi talented artist: she is a comedian, is multilingual (speaks several languages), has international recognition, can sing and is a skilled television host.
