Events
edit- 12 March - Corinna May is selected to represent Germany at the 1999 Eurovision Song Contest with her song "Hör den Kindern einfach zu". She is selected to be the forty-fourth German Eurovision entry during Countdown Grand Prix held at the Stadthalle in Bremen.
- 16 March - Corinna May was disqualified from the 1999 Eurovision Song Contest when it was discovered that the winning song "Hor den Kindern einfach zu" was released in 1997 by another act, since entering a cover song was contrary to the rules. Sürpriz, who were the runners-up performing "Reise nach Jerusalem – Kudüs'e seyahat" were therefore promoted and announced as the forty-fourth German Eurovision entry.
