Germany held a national preselection to choose the two songs that would go to the Eurovision Song Contest 1956. It was held on May 1, 1956 and was presented by Heinz Piper.

There was a rumour that Lys Assia performed the song "Ein kleiner gold'ner Ring" (A little golden ring) in this national final. However, this rumour turned out to be untrue as the singer has only remembered that she took part with a song of that title in a German music festival - it turned out that she actually competed with this song in the German schlager festival of 1961[1].
"So Geht Das Jede Nacht" and "Im Wartesaal Zum Großen Glück" were the dual winners of the national selection, but neither prevailed at the inaugural Eurovision Song Contest, which was won by the Swiss entry "Refrain", sung by Lys Assia.
