Germany was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 1960 with the song "Bonne nuit ma chérie", composed by Franz Josef Breuer, with lyrics by Kurt Schwabach, and performed by Wyn Hoop. The German participating broadcaster on behalf of ARD, Hessischer Rundfunk (HR), selected its entry through a national final. The song was sung in German despite its French title.
Heidi Brühl finished runner-up in the national final; however her song "Wir wollen niemals auseinandergehn" topped the German singles chart for several weeks and was one of the year's biggest sellers.
